The title of Cornerstonia and its contents

 As I had been announcing.... I will be discussing the origins of the book's title and reveal the table of contents. So, here it is:

THE TITLE

      It all started with my last name. "Well, what's so significant about your last name?" you might ask. Rosario, which would be translated from Spanish as Rosa (rose) and rio (river). Thus producing the part "ROSE RIVER" in CORNERSTONIA: THE ROSE RIVER JOURNEY. It is also used with the royal family's last name "Rosarion". 
     So then...where did the "CORNERSTONIA" bit come from? First, the inspiration came from the Bible, as Jesus Christ is described as the cornerstone (Ephesians 2:19-21)

Also, the Random House Dictionary defines cornerstone as:

(1) a stone uniting two masonry walls at an intersection.

(2) something that is essential, indispensable, or basic

(3) the chief [most important] foundation on which something is constructed or developed

     The book revolves around such a point. Uniting two things. Saving something essential that has been lost. You should check out the website (cornerstonia.com under Story) to understand  what I am speaking about. I wouldn't want to reveal TOO TOO much on this blog alone. But here is a short excerpt from the book:

     ...Facing the inevitable announcement of her parents separation, Vitzeli [ a main character] is deeply saddened. A cold winter morning becomes tragic, when a car accidentally  smashes into her door leaving her in a coma...but her imagination is wide awake...it opens the doors to an imaginary world, an alternate reality—a land called—Cornerstonia...

     The story is about saving the unity lost between the parents in their actual reality and finding the cure for the parents' deadly sickness in the fantasy world.The most important and essential cornerstone for any family is their togetherness; producing the title, which includes the book message: 

"CORNERSTONIA: THE ROSE RIVER JOURNEY."

     

     And so, for your visual delight, here is the table of contents.
