About The Rosey View Of The World by Andrew Scott Bassett

Book Synopsis: The Rosey View of the World by Andrew Scott Bassett
Danny is an author coming off his first book that made money, a bestseller at that.
He’s about to meet with his literary agent who is expecting ‘good’ news about his next offering. Unfortunately, Danny has a writer’s block and can only pretend his next work is coming along.
His long-time girlfriend Julia comes by their apartment in New York City to pick up her things, she wants a permanent commitment he’s not ready to give. When she gets there she finds out that Danny has received a phone call from his sister Lori in Phoenix that their beloved elderly mother Rosey has died. With a book deadline looming, Lori talks Danny into flying out to Phoenix to help with the funeral. Julia wants to be by his side for all of this but is rebuffed somewhat by Danny which angers her greatly.
Danny’s mother has left him three boxes. In one box are loosely strewn pages detailing her life. That night, frustrated in his attempt at working on his new book, he begins to read what his mother Rosey has left him.
In Rosey’s voice, we are taken back to just before the start of World War II in England. Fear is soon in the air as war breaks out as Germany attacks England from the sky. Rosey’s favorite uncle is drafted into the army and then her father, Pappy, is sent off to fight the fires in London from German bombings. Her favorite uncle doesn’t come back but her pappy survives.
Danny while helping his sister with funeral details, confesses his failures in both career and love.
After the war, Rosey, now a teen turns her attention to working at the same shoe factory as her folks, studying at the university, and dancing in clubs. In one of these clubs, she meets her first real love, a German prisoner-of-war, Maximillian. Their secret courtship ends when he is sent back to his home country leaving Rosey heartbroken. Several years pass before she is fixed up on a blind date by her pappy with the most famous cricket player in Britain. While the date is a disaster, the night isn’t, as she meets the young American soldier she will soon marry, Albert Adams.
Albert convinces Rosey’s parents to let them marry and then whisks her away to America. The old Adam’s farm in Vermont is not the welcome to America Rosey was expecting.
Next, Albert is stationed in Georgia and Rosey comes face to face with racism for the first time. She befriends two black base wives which turns the wrath of other base wives, soldiers, and even the base commander against her and Albert. Albert is shipped off to West Germany near the Berlin wall. Rosey follows but ends up back in England with her family. Albert crosses paths with Elvis Presley. He then finds out he can’t father children. Albert surprises Rosey by taking her to an Elvis performance on base. While in Germany, Rosey spots her first love Maximillian.
Albert decides he wants to be a helicopter pilot and the army stations him back in the states, in Alabama. Rosey follows him and makes a new friend, Carol, a black woman who invites her to join her church and leads her into becoming a part of the fight for civil rights in the area. Albert is sent to Vietnam in case war breaks out.
Danny is surprised to discover from his sister that their mother wanted to be buried in a veteran’s cemetery.
Rosey returns to England and finds out her little sister is getting married. The Bridal party takes a trip before the wedding to Hamburg Germany and the girls meet four lads from Liverpool, musicians that call themselves the Beatles.
Julia shows up in Phoenix to support Danny as a ‘friend’. She convinces Danny to use his mother’s biography for his next book.
With Albert still in Vietnam, Rosey reconnects with Carol and becomes even more involved with the cause for civil rights. She accompanies her church to Washington D.C. to attend the ‘I have a dream speech’. The rest of the nineteen sixties see only infrequent visits from
Albert as the war in Vietnam officially roars ahead. Rosey now longing for motherhood, goes out and joins the workplace for the first time in the states and is quickly disillusioned by the way men treat the women they work with. At the end of the decade, she once again bumps into Maximillian, this time at an event remembering the start of World War II.
Danny manages to upset Julia again and then is upset himself when he finds out the only veteran’s cemetery in the area won’t let them bury their mother there. Danny finds someone from his mother’s past that persuades the cemetery to change their mind.
Albert finally comes home for good but has no interest in adopting children, now Rosey’s heartfelt desire. Their marriage at an impasse, Rosey catches him cheating on her. She lets him know what she thinks. Her marriage over, Rosey makes one last trip home to England before following Carol and a new job to Phoenix Arizona. She fails miserably as a single woman attempting to adopt a child until Carol and her new husband invite Rosey on a trip to Las Vegas Nevada which changes everything. There, Maximillian surprises her with a marriage proposal and the answer to her dreams of becoming a mother. Rosey finishes her story by sharing with Danny words of encouragement and comfort. He is moved by what he reads.
Danny buries his mother. He then heads back to New York and convinces his agent to give his book about his mother a chance. With a new book in tow, and his mother’s words in his heart, he proposes to Julia, and she finally accepts his offer. From a hotel room overlooking the city, Danny toasts his mother’s life and his new life about to begin.

The Northern Wolf Series: Books 1-5 by Daniel Greene

The complete Northern Wolf series all in one boxset. Over 1500 pages of award-winning military historical fiction. Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell, Ralph Peters, Michael Shaara, Griff Hosker, and Matthew Harffy.

A broken man will be forged in the flames of war.

Johannes Wolf. Immigrant. Soldier. Unlikely Hero — Wolf’s company are the kind of men that get the dirty work done needed to win the war that divided America. Ride through the American Civil War with Wolf’s motley crew of daring Union raiders, and enjoy fast-paced, non-stop war fiction at the pointy end of a saber!

Northern Wolf – A maimed young man with no prospects swindles his way into the Army of the Potomac, and along with a host of green recruits is placed into the Michigan Cavalry Brigade. Riding for Gettysburg, they find themselves holding the rear of the Union line and face to face with JEB Stuart and his Invincibles.

Northern Hunt – Johannes Wolf has made a crucial mistake. He’s volunteered for a secret raid, dragging along with him, his unit of misfits. They fall under the command of Colonel Ulric Dahlgren and set out on a quest for redemption and vengeance that will strike at the head of the Southern Cause.

Northern Blood – In the Spring of 1864, a daring raid is devised to draw the Confederate cavalry into a winner-take-all showdown. The Union needs a group of soldiers just brazen enough to do it or die trying. Libby Prison’s most recent escapee, Johannes Wolf, and his unit of misfits, might just be the ones to get the job done – if Red Shirts don’t kill them first.

Northern Dawn – Promoted, Wolf finds himself in the hot seat of the largest all-cavalry battle of the war near Trevilian Station. Isolated and surrounded can they survive the coming Southern storm? Or will they be overrun and annihilated, a mere footnote in history?

Northern Shadows – With the surrender of Robert E. Lee,Wolf’s war isn’t over. Diehard rebels still operate in the field, led by the secret organization the Knights of the Golden Circle. Their plot? Kill the president and let the war rage on. Wolf and his men rush to Washington, D.C., to meet the enemy head-on. But these enemies do not march and fight as armies do; they lurk in the shadows waiting to strike.

Praise for the Northern Wolf series –

About Healing of a Psychotherapist: A Journey of Rebellion, Reflection, and Redemption by Charles McCormack

An unhappy childhood often affects who we become in adulthood and our capacity to enjoy whatever successes we achieve. In Healing of a Psychotherapist: A Journey of Rebellion, Reflection, and Redemption, Charles McCormack, MA, MSW, LCSW-C, uses his own life in illustration. With searing honesty, McCormack lays bare his personal and professional ordeals, along with the lessons he’s drawn and continues to draw. Though his story is unique, his struggles are not; thus, McCormack’s narrative works its way into the heart of each of us. His take home, the one given to him by his mother on her deathbed, is clear. Staring into his eyes, she was emphatic: “Charlie. Have a good life. Have a good life.,” refusing to break her hold upon him until he finally committed, “I will, mom, I will,” all the while thinking, “how the hell do I do that?” McCormack hopes that sharing his story through this book brings his readers insight and healing.
