Book Information

This book, Page of Roses, is the third book in a trilogy. Let Freedom Ring and The Last Grain Through the Hourglass are the first two. These books are a remarkable bit of American literature.

Inspirations

The Robert Frost poem, The Road Not Taken, has inspired me to write Hour Glass. Finally, the Statue of Liberty is a symbol of the poem Let Freedom Ring.

Poetry and Literary References

The last three lines of the Frost poem go: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.

Origin of the Idea

I got the idea for Page of Roses from Hemingway, that if you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, it stays with you for the rest of your life, for Paris is a movable feast.
