About this ebook

The creation of the characters, come from a thirst to understand what would happen, if a person from the past would come back to todays time. Be given all the advantages of today, what kind of choices would they make given their new freedoms, and money.
We all make decisions based on the social constructs that we have been blessed with. "Flight of the Rosebud" brings to the forefront many questions about how far we have come since slavery. The book is a delightful story about a family of 3 slaves, who are transported to a new life and given the benefit of having all the assets and advantages that are available to anyone today. Being physically free is only the beginning of the solution. Enjoy the direction the story takes in finding the new, old lives build their way in the new America. Flight of the Rosebud, is filled with excitement, drama, action, sex, love, racism, murder, and even car chases; it brings the wealthy and the poor together and gives each the other mans life to consider The question comes to mind, how would you as the reader make choices in this adventure filled, drama tight story. I hope you enjoy the book; it was a joy writing it, and I hope you get as much joy in reading it!
