Rose is a self-described truth seeker, writer, and spiritual warrior, always observing life and asking questions. Perhaps to quiet her constant questions, her mother encouraged her to read five books a week every summer and then write her thoughts in a little blue diary. This habit nurtured her spirit to write.
She assisted in writing and editing books on natural therapies with her husband while they managed a holistic health clinic in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Once they adopted their daughter, her life path took a radical turn: her marriage ended as well as her career. Rose then managed a real estate office and focused on raising her daughter and as well as pursuing her newfound love of ballroom dancing. She and her new husband started a small farm where they raised llamas, chickens, and organic vegetables. Daily life was full of activity, but she always made time to write. Writing was her solace.
After her traumatic arrest and transformation years later, she became a copywriter at a large company and was inspired to write and share her varied and dramatic life experiences. Her greatest hope is that readers will relate to her story and realize that no matter how bleak things may look, with a sincere heart and faith, they, too, can triumph over their own life challenges.
