About this title

Synopsis

The award winning novel, Scarback, tells the story of a critical time in the life of man who suffers from Down's Syndrome. It is truly a transformational story of love and friendship. It is humorous, often heart wrenching, and always very entertaining. You will love Dominic and you will love this story! Back in the 1950’s when people were less kind to physically and mentally challenged individuals; my father befriended a victim of Down’s Syndrome by the name of Dominic. He became part of our fishing “relationship” for the next 50 years. Dominic was such an amazing person, I was compelled to collect the most significant events from those 50 years of fishing with him, and write this novel to preserve his memory forever. I guarantee you will laugh and cry and be totally moved by someone with a heart bigger than life itself. (Scarback was a finalist in the Literary Trifecta, a contest sponsored by When Words Counts Retreat. It was judged by a publisher, literary agent, and publicist from New York City) Greater detail available at: www.rogercorea.com

About the Author

Roger Corea - Education and Experience
 
Not only is writing a natural outgrowth of Roger's formal education; it is also a product of his own life's experience. A Bachelor's Degree in English from St. Bonaventure University and graduate courses at the University of Rochester provide a solid foundation. But Roger's most meaningful "education" comes from teaching English literature and a thirty-year field leadership position with Ameriprise Financial. He calls these experiences his writer's "apprenticeship" citing the best preparation for writing novels islearning about people. Mark Twain's quote, "Never let your book learnin' interfere with your education", is his favorite.
