Finding Rose
by Judy Godfrey
Sometimes when we wax nostalgic, interesting truths rise from the secrets of the long forgotten past. Finding Rose reflects the sorrow and heartache, joy and pleasure, gifts and achievements, enjoyed by the mother, Rose, and how those intertwined with and influenced the daughter, Jean.
At her mothers death, Jean is left with questions. Did Rose love her brother more than Jean, or was Jean simply more mischievous and thus in trouble more? After the birth of Jeans daughter, what about the dream that began to haunt her? Rose seemed so ordinary, but in retrospect, Jean discovers her to be anything but ordinary. A journey that seemed to be falling apart has instead come together in this writing.
