Produktbeschreibung

Roberta M. Roy summarizes her memoir, Life's a Dance: On My Growing up and Coming of Age, as relating to the high points in her life from the time she was eight years of age until she was twenty-seven which she summarizes as follows: Having started life in the Great Depression, I early learned that hard work combined with determination and gaged risk-taking were necessary for survival. Having witnessed the effect of too little money and the resultant lack of permanent housing, I determined I would become an independent and informed adult who would earn sufficiently well as to provide stability for myself and as possible, those in my family, and on the way, I would become in a sense, more enlightened. Aided by scholarships, eventually I became a licensed speech language pathologist and my path, while not always predictably easy, was lit by variety, human experience, and indeed, a degree of adventure. Life's a Dance is the story of that venture. Roberta M Roy holds a B.A. in English from the State University College at Albany (SUNYA), an M.A. in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of Nebraska and has done post graduate study at the University of Michigan. Roy is a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist in the State of New York. She resides in the Mid-Hudson Valley in New York State where she is the creative lead and owner operator of ALVA Press, Inc. Roberta M Roy's Jolt Survival Trilogy won three writing awards: Home Again 2020 (Jolt Survival Trilogy Book 3) took the Gold Medal for Current Events II (Social Issues/Public Affairs/Ecological/Humanitarian) and Silver Medal for Multicultural Fiction in the Jenkins 2021 International eLit awards and a Bronze Medal as a Novel in the 2021 Jenkins International eLit Awards and Jolt: a rural noir (Book 1) took the 2011 Jenkins Living Now Inspirational Fiction Award. Roy's book Slivers: Poems by Roberta M Roy, medaled in the 2020 Jenkins International eLit Awards in Poetry. Other books edited/written by Roy include The ALVA Axiom Interviews with Authors, Straight from the Robin's Nest, and Two Close: a story of survival (Jolt Survival Trilogy: Book 3).
