I am Tony Valentino, the prime narrator of Rose of the Flats, a novel about prejudice in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. I had thought I was writing about the experiences of my younger brother Dante, a Korean War combat veteran who was successfully becoming an English teacher at our local high school after the war. Unlike me, he could easily "pass" for white. But he had been arrogant enough to marry Rose, our sweetheart since childhood, who could not pass. Although I narrated the story in 1957, it is just as relevant now as it was then. Our father was an immigrant Jew from Italy, married to our immigrant French Canadian mother, who was Catholic and was partially black. When the novel opens, I am living with Rose, taking care of Dante. Two years ago, someone in a passing car had taken a shot at him one night. His car swerved and crashed into a tree, leaving him severely brain damaged. Our isolated little community is really part of Berlin, the only city in the northern part of our state, which, back then, was like Quebec. Most of the people in Berlin could not understand English. Cascade Flats is technically within the town line of Gorham, a tourist town five miles down the road. It is proudly American. Our state motto is "Live free, or die." In my senior year in high school, I fell madly in love with my attractive young English teacher, the epitome of American womanhood, the woman I had planned to marry, to live free or die with. I wasn't going to be stuck with a woman of the flats, not I. But having been thrust into such close proximity with Rose, I became aware of our deep feelings for each other, especially of our strong sexual attraction, which I had refused to fully acknowledge when she had given me the opportunities. The Joy of my life, I had thought, had been white. In trying to tell Dante's story, I was really telling my own story, forced by Rose to face my own demons, my deepest anxieties and feelings of guilt for having coveted the devoted, passionate wife of my own brother. To finally survive our situation, I was compelled to overcome my own prejudices.

Women of a certain age at a certain time in history were the fulcrum of change in the empowerment of women. The 60's was this certain time, as was the suffragette movement at the turn of the 20th century. Every bit as powerful and enduring as the early movement demanding equality on all levels, women wanted it all. They wanted to be the (perfume ad) Ingenue woman. Women everywhere wanted to be recognized for their contributions to society on every level. They wanted to prove themselves viable in their work, their sport and their chosen loves. Women wanted to be brave enough to step outside the box to discover for themselves what was once a silent dream whispered only in the depths of their curious minds. Did Elvis' gyrations and Jerry Lee Lewis' Great Balls of fire of the 50's begin to set us free? Did television begin to set us free? When I was 15 years old (in 1957) Mary Higgins Clark was (and still is) my mentor. She lived across the street from us in Westwood, N.J. She was 30 years old. I wondered at age 15 how I could become as worldly as MHC. Her published articles and series stories appeared in magazines. Mary was a woman of substance. She had five children; and she was married to Warren Clark, VP of Marketing for Capitol Airways. Mary often drove to Manhattan to publishers and modeling agencies for the children. New York City, I was sure, was where I wanted to begin my worldly adventures. In June 1960, after graduating high school, I was, a $60 a week typist/transcriber in a typing pool at Reeves Bros Textiles on Broadway in Manhattan. Six months later (my typing and steno skills were very good), I was Executive Secretary to the VP of Marketing at Reeves Bros. I was on my way to my worldly world. And so, it was on that dreadful and ominous day, November 22nd, 1963, that Mary and I stood on a Short Line bus queue together at the NYC Port of Authority, dressed in our NYC finery of hats, fine leather kid gloves, color-coordinated shoes and purses and sophisticated silk billowy scarves. We stood together in shock and silence after the tragic and senseless assassination death of JFK. This book and my coming of age began with Mary; and 60 years later, after three years of writing and nearly 500 pages, this is my worldly story of accomplishment, love, sorrow and adventure and my joyful journey that continues to this day. From my Sicilian Brooklyn family roots to the high profile Manhattan textile industry to USEASA (United States Eastern Amateur Ski Association) pre-Olympic slalom ski racing at Mad River Glenn in the mountains of Vermont to Caribbean Windjammer rescues, an Amsterdam love affair, a Barcelona gypsy dancer's friendship, Paris, Marseilles, Rome, Istanbul, the Greek Islands, Lisbon, Portugal, a South African Diplomat love affair and Biafran airlift mission mercenaries, London work visas, an Ischia Island, Italy priestly love affair, my first marriage, the birth of my daughter, respite to spectacular and pristine Estero Island, Fl on the Gulf of Mexico, my formal education and Masters degree in Psychology, my Mental Health practice at the Marriage and Family Center in Ft. Myers, Fl, as well as, my redeeming and soulful marriage at age 47 to my extraordinary husband, Bill, our four children, six grandchildren and one great-grandchild. This is my story that continues to this day to be a search for adventure and accomplishment, as well as, familial and community contributions available to me at this time of my life. Decades of my Life is an unfinished story that will continue to evolve. I am grateful to my husband Bill, who is "the wind beneath my wings", to my daughter who encouraged me to write my story, and to the inspiration that I receive each and every day from so many wonderful friends and family. To all of you so dear to me, I say thank you. Remember always, the moment is now. Enjoy it all Elena Troy is a pen name that combines my mother's first name with the beginning of my maiden name.
Rose, a young talented seamstress, wants to convince the finicky Queen to try some of her new designs, but when she throws mud in the prince's face and becomes the town's fool, the Queen will have nothing to do with her. If Rose wants her dreams to come true, she'll have to learn to stand up for herself and discover a way to win the Queen's heart.
Thirteen-year-old Rose Gray's fervent prayers for peace during the bombing raids have been answered, but no one around her in 1947 England is physically or spiritually free of the aftereffects of war. Living on a government-run tenant farm, Rose struggles with her father's increasingly violent moods, her mother's past (including the appearance of a stranger returning from war), and a school headmistress bordering on madness. Rose's story is about how, with the help of her religious grandmother, her best friend Annie, and the natural forces of adolescence, she makes small bids for freedom in the midst of circumstances beyond her control.
