The Colour of the Rose

The Colour of the Rose

Murder, conspiracy, an acute-care hospital and human politics interact in a love story that will affect us all. It is a sensitive action story that treasures love, knowledge, and intrigue-love for one's mate, one's country, one's planet, and suggests action necessary for us to consider. A story leaders should understand and adults must read. Alan Giachino was fortunate to have worked more than 40 years as an orthopedic surgical teacher in a university training program, combined with servicing twelve Arctic communities and two NWT communities. He worked one year in Australia and one in New Zealand; volunteered with the Canadian Forces in Afghanistan; and volunteered, operated, and taught in nine countries in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. All provided an insight into human desires, tragedies, interactions, politics, and planet issues.
