True Story Poetry

Book Details
About the Book
Fallen Rose is about myself, the author. It contains some unfortunate true stories of my life from childhood to late teen years. It is about a child sexual abuse, a child murder, emotional abuse, and drug and alcohol addictions. At least two are about people I admired who helped through those troubling times.
Fallen Rose II will follow at a later date and time. I had written and rewritten Fallen Rose several times. Thirty-one to be exact. It is time for my story to be told.
About the Author
My name is Maria Rose Focareto. I am 51 years old. I like to write poetry. Mostly true-story poetry. I live in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio called Parma Heights. I like it here. I love to crochet. Presently working on a bedspread. I graduated from Normandy High School in Parma, Ohio in June 8, 1978 and hopefully to graduate from Bryant and Stratton College with an associate degree in Criminal Justice 2012. I hope to work with troubled teens as a counselor. Fallen Rose is my first book. My second book that I will be sending to Xlibris is titled, I Promise – about daily inspirational sayings along with some artwork. Writing is my first love and my passion.
