The Fake Rose & Sonny: Rekindled Love

Over the history of literature, there are countless tales of lovers separated, and of the hardship people are willing to suffer for the sake of love. But what if one has no choice but to make the best in a world beset with hardship? Where is the room for love?

Here is a true tale about true love-the kind that elevates our lives above even the most difficult of circumstances.

He was her sunshine, her Sonny. She was his flower, proof that love could bloom under any conditions-his Rose. They met as teens, each struggling with abusive households, impoverished living conditions, and hardscrabble lives. When he left to make something of himself, to prove he could provide a better life for the love of his life, it seemed he would not come back, She didn't believe he would return. And he didn't-for three decades.

Through thirty eight years of separation, through hard times, dysfunctional marrages, depression and poverty, they never forgot. Through foiled attempts to find each other disasterous twists of fate, their love for each other helped them through the worst of times.

Rose, hangs on to her memories. Sonny, sucessful but unfulfilled, begins a search for his lost love. But when he finds her, will it be to late to matter in this life?

A stirring tale of desperation and desire, and above all, survival. The Fake Rose and Sonny will draw you into the dark depths of the human condition, and lift you with the main characters' love to those things that make a life worthwhile.

5Emotions Overflowed  Jul 18, 2004
This book "The Fake Rose & Sonny", will bring out inner feelings in any person that has ever experienced abuse while growing up. I cried, laughed & cried some more. While reading the book I actually let my mind wonder to the hills of TN. I became barefoot on the outside swing with a box of Kleenex and couldn't put the book down. The vocabulary and terminology used by the author is plain, simple and it's easy to follow through each scenario. But yet each page I read and turned brought more of an intense impassioned feeling. The neglect and abuse of a woman's feelings is something society has always overlooked. My heart goes out to (Cheryl Leigh) for all that she has carried on her shoulders. We all need to find happiness in life and this book has taught me not to settle for anything less than true happiness. This book is a must have and read!

5Perfect book for the Oprah bookclub  Jun 21, 2004
Oprah will love this book!!!!This book follows an Appalachian family from Kentucky who makes James Lee Burke's characters look like "Father Knows Best". Rarely can a first time writer capture the attention of anyone who picks up the book whether they are from Southern Appalachia or Kitchener, Canada. My son-in-law in Phoenix also read the book and made the comment that
the author had him feeling sorry for the dad at one point in time even though he was a "sorry excuse for a human being".
It takes a good writer to create this kind of emotion.
The undercurrent of this book is about relationships between a
husband and wife and the constant change of getting to know and validate yourself for who you are and feeling shortchanged.
A lot of soul and heart was poured into this book and this is a
"must read".

5The Fake Rose & Sonny  Feb 15, 2004

5The Fake Rose & Sonny: Rekindled Love by Shirley Morgan  Feb 01, 2004
I couldn't put this book down. "The Fake Rose & Sonny", has it all, abuse, humor, lust, and most of all it is a story of perseverance and undying love. Not like most stories of abuse, where the abused becomes the abusers. There are no pity parties for Rose (Cheryl Leigh) and Sonny. When life deals them lemons, they make lemonade. People who read this book will also need a box of tissue.
