Some Childhood Wounds Take a Lifetime to Heal
Rose was a child when the worst possible thing happened—her sister Lily drowned. While Rose was supposed to be watching her. From that moment, Rose knew it was all her fault. After all, that's what her mother told her. But life must go on, no matter what, and Rose and her sister, Ivy, grow up in a family without their little sister. In a family where alcoholism and arguing defines their parents. In a family that personifies dysfunction. In a family where anger forces their brother away. Was it any wonder that Rose was so excited to get to college? Was it any wonder she sometimes had a date with Mr. Merlot, the wine bottle she hid to help her get through life's tougher moments?
At times whimsical, always genuine, this story looks at the bonds of sisters and how family can become our foundation even when we don’t expect it.
The Bonds That Break Us and the Love That Holds Us Together
Rose has spent her life carrying the guilt of her little sister's drowning, a burden made heavier by her mother's blame and a troubled family. As she grows into adulthood, she must navigate painful memories, complicated relationships, and the enduring bonds of sisterhood. A poignant, sometimes whimsical story of loss, resilience, and the unexpected strength of family.
