OF HEARTS AND ROSES

About the Book

OF HEARTS AND ROSES is an account of how the living rose, truly one of nature’s most beautiful transformations, is tenderly coaxed into being by human hand, supplemented with humble attempts to preserve for just a while longer in the grand scheme of the Eternal its fleeting splendor on canvas. While the rose has been given center stage, there is an attendant people story here. Two separate souls, well past their tender years, find happiness and enduring love, as the glamour of the rose is interwoven with events of the heart.
