ALL MY PRETTY ROSES is a collection of the poems, vignettes, and short stories that Eleanor E. Freemer has gifted to the world. Encoded in each work are her memories that span nearly a century of living. As is true in every life, some roses have sharp thorns that cause us to bleed, while others grow wild and fail to bloom. But it is the rose that blooms in early spring that fills the heart with joy and the air with its compelling fragrance. This bouquet of roses has been tenderly nourished by the sun of this beautiful lady's heart and watered by her tears of sorrow and joy. Eleanor has carefully shaped each of her works to reflect the rose garden of her long life. My hope is that those who read these beautiful works of art, are as delighted and inspired as I have been in compiling this collection. In reading it may you discover reflections of your own life experiences. With Love & Light Elizabeth Everett Bowers Author: Epace (Being Published by Hawkins Publishing Group)
