Introducing Walker Jackson's Magnum Opus:

Readers' Rave!

Angelina Engel a writing forum acquaintance read it. She emailed me and said, "I just finished reading your fantastic story and find it excellent! Your wording, your creativity and your mystery form kept me enthralled! You are one heck of a writer and it is such an honor to read your marvelous work! Thanks so much again for sending it to me."

Though I'm certain most woman will relate to this nineteenth century feminist, a man turned the pages of  "Rose, Ma Petite." He emailed me this: “I felt compelled to tell you of my opinion the minute I finished your book. And that opinion is simply absolutely wonderful. And it wasn't so much that the novel had conventional plot points, catchy gimmicks, and contrivances -- so much as it was the simple, rich, wonderfully honest unfolding of a person's life and those who were in it. Your descriptions of things also were enjoyable: succinct and un-wordy, yet definitely with a sense of a careful choice of words and rhythm -- elegance evinced by simplicity and honesty.”

Wife of a tennis friend, an erudite lady who reads three books weekly, read it. She passed it back with a note. "Dear Walker, thoroughly enjoyed reading about Rose. Really nice to read about a heroine who never got into trouble of any kind: not like most historical novels where you had to worry about what was going to happen next. With all that happened in one year, you could really make a series of books about Rose.

Interesting she should say that. I have written a sequel. "Dual Images - Saint and Sinner." It starts where the first novel ends. It's told by Rose's Granddaughter Shirley of "That Neapolitan Furlough" fame. 

Synopsis

Rose Rénaud, an indigent villager comes to Paris in 1863 seeking fame and fortune—a certainty with her beauty and brains. She’s a fledgling and pure as Mary, the Mother of Christ. She becomes, however, a beloved tease in Paris’ sidewalk cafés. Paris is obsessed with diversity. It has never been so naughty and delightful. And Emperor Louis Napoleon III is the trendsetter.

Sitting in a sidewalk café with Brother Maurice, influential Françoise Hausman and her French Poodle stroll by. Peppé pulls free and starts running away. Maurice chases, captures Peppé and returns him. Thus, a relationship starts which significantly changes their indigent lives. Rose uses Françoise’s friendship to finagle an assignment in New York and New Orleans much to the chagrin of her lecherous boss. 

Traveling by train to Le Havre, Rose meets John, a handsome, wealthy, erudite Englishman. He’s sailing for America on the same steamer. A romantic affair ensues and the Atlantic Ocean becomes Cupid’s Garden of Eden, but the romance doesn’t crystallize. Rose and John realize they’re too close of friends to fall in love. 

In New York, her elderly boss dies suddenly. He has dissipated the entire voyage. The other Rose was simply too evil, too young, too much for him. Young Rose has been catapulted to great importance. 

On her train sojourn from New York to St. Louis, she meets a troubled Union Army major on his way to harms way. He’s married and she comforts him from afar. 

Boarding a paddle wheeler in St. Louis bound for New Orleans a horrifying near accident brings Michael Rodon, a rich Spanish restaurateur, into her life. Romance is ignited and the flame grows steadily higher during the cruise down the Mississippi. An accident occurs near Memphis. This is fortunate. Rose has several more days to establish a solid relationship with Michael. 

New Orleans is recovering from the ravages of the Civil War. In New Orleans, she’s promoted to Assistant Controller and ordered to stay. She knows she’ll never leave. She opens a custom dress shop and pursues her design talents. During the next year, their romance matures and they marry. Maurice marries Françoise and becomes wealthy.
