Rose: A Modernization
F. Freeman
Paperback
(Re.ad Select, July 1, 2015)
Inspired by the original "Sleeping Beauty" fairytale, Rose introduces us to a young, impressionable girl who, instead of pricking her finger on a spinning wheel, becomes bewitched by the seductive world of drugs and dependency. It's a story about control – or the loss of it – and how much Rose is willing to jeopardize as she searches for her own self-worth. Simultaneously, Rose's father, Robert, struggles with his own past as he watches his daughter make the same decisions that almost killed him thirty-five years ago. Can he save Rose before she follows in his footsteps?
