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 this title

About the Author

Roger Corea writes about things, people and places he is passionate about. His first novel, Scarback, tells the story of a critical time in the life of a mentally challenged man from the Italian neighborhood of Roger's youth. The story centers on a highly eventful Northern Pike fishing expedition to Canada, but, as Roger says, "it's not really about fishing." It is, however, full of humor and a cast of vivid, real characters who seem to leap to life from the pages. His second book, The Duesenberg Caper, is a crime thriller about the recovery of a one-of-a-kind classic car. (Roger is an avid classic car collector.) I had the pleasure of helping Roger with the story edit and line edit for his first book, and enjoyed reading the final draft of his second! (Look for it on book shelves in the near future.) Writing is a natural outgrowth of Roger’s formal education. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in English from St. Bonaventure University and completed post graduate work in English at the University of Rochester. Before entering the business world, Roger taught English literature at Canandaigua Academy and Penfield High School -- where he also served as assistant football coach. (Perhaps a pig-skin tale may be a coming attraction.) Roger lives with his wife, Mary Ann, in East Rochester, NY. They have three children and three grandchildren. - Jon Reisfeld, Senior Vice President, WWCR www.rogercorea.com
