We Went to England
A vivid, often humorous slice of autobiography, We Went To England spans the Atlantic Ocean—Rochester, New York to London, the Great Depression and the second World War. Children of an American mother and an English father, Elaine and her sisters have a privileged, sheltered life—more akin to the world of Jane Austen than that of Angela's Ashes. Elaine, though, finds there is always a BUT. You have to learn to be a Lady. To obey a set of rigid rules—what's "done" and "not done". Too many of the rules she learns only after breaking them. With the War in 1939 everything changes. Being a Lady is no longer so important—surviving is. There are gas masks, air raids, bombs and the constant fear of death. After September 11, 2001, Elaine's story has fresh relevance. As a young girl she learned that in the presence of constant low-level fear, life goes on—and so do laughter and purpose.

Home Fires
From her earliest memory of attending the coronation parade of George VI in London in 1937, surviving the German Blitzkrieg of England during World War II, an engagement to a Malayan prince who attended the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, and her eventual marriage to a United States serviceman, which transported her to Missouri and, eventually, New York, Elaine Cheney endured anti-Semitism, political bias, tragedy, and heartbreak.Reflecting upon nearly nine decades of wisdom and experience, discovering light in life's darkest moments, and demonstrating empathy in the face of war and poverty, Elaine Cheney shares her incredible journey in Home Fires: A Memoir.
Plain Elaine
Art. Art is an expression of colors; it is a symbol or faith. It is a representation of oneself. Elaine Milligan found art as an escape, a passion used to utilize what she feels is an important journey that will make her sane. Sometimes an image is not just an image. What glitters is not gold. Elaine has been putting on the perfect picture for her family and peers for so long she is ready to change the canvas of her image and just start from a blank page. Is it worth it? Starting over, does it make sense creating an image that has not been viewed for years? Elaine thinks it does not make sense, and she does not care anymore. She is not going back to the drawing board--what's the point?
Rhumba
Tottenham, London. Ten-year-old Flambeau waits for his young mother to arrive from the Congo, along the same dangerous route that the human traffickers smuggled him. Homesick and pining for love, he sees a glimpse of life in Knight, a fellow Congolese. Knight, a sapeur - dressed to the nines and dressed to kill - is a gangster who lives for two purposes: to be noticed, and to dance away the immigrants' troubles on a Friday night at Le Pitch, Broadwater Farm. And, who knows, he might just be able to use his contacts to find Flambeau's mother, Bijou. Knight has a girlfriend, Eleanor: a pale Scottish beauty whose love for him is total, but who can never be accepted into the world of Le Pitch. She becomes Flambeau's confidante, and he her mentor in the art of the Rhumba - the dance that will help her steal her lover's heart. But Knight's past is so troubled, and his present so dangerous, that to challenge the traffickers to find Bijou might be more than his life is worth - something a ten-year-old child cannot be expected to understand.
