Rosy Fingered Dawn, the first book of a trilogy, is a sweeping panorama of over 700 pages seen through the eyes of two boys at opposite ends of the world caught in the middle of the swirling maelstrom surrounding WWII and its aftermath. It is not a war story but rather a story of love and survival.
The novel is a passionate, relentless, character driven Epic which chronicles their desperate struggle for survival and the parallel lives of these two orphans born in February, 1930.
One is a Polish Jewish boy brought up in a Catholic children's home in Brittany, in western France, during the Nazi occupation.
The second boy, born in Harlem, New York endures the humiliation and fear of the Jim Crow south in his harrowing ascent into manhood.
The story, which precisely details the warfare and intolerance thematic to our era, is a rich narrative of Dickensian like characters infused with hate, cruelty, base stupidity, and love and humor.
Christian Delacroix, the Polish Jewish boy, must survive the abuse of the Catholic children's home, a frightening life on the run in Brittany, and the fear of the Nazi occupations before joining the American troops in the march into Paris in August, 1944. From there, his difficult journey takes him to New York, Israel, and back to Paris. The reader is intently and sympathetically caught up in his unwavering efforts.
Nicole Hamonet, another Polish Jewish orphan at the home, is the love interest woven into the story of his life.
Simultaneously, in Harlem, Quentin Middleton is part of a similar and parallel struggle. He survives orphan years in New York, Connecticut, and the Deep South before returning, in a literal sense, to Middleton Plantation in South Carolina, his ancestral home.
He further endures a prison for delinquent boys in the Midwest and a multiyear journey back to New York.
His life takes him, beyond that, to West Point and Vietnam. Along the way, inevitably, he and Christian Delacroix come face to face.
The scenes are universal and contemporary in their appeal and hold the reader's attention through every moving page of the action based novel.
