A Fiction Family Saga Novel

​​​​

Rose Ella thought she knew what it meant to survive.

​

She had spent her life learning how to live with abandonment, violence, disappointment, and the wounds left behind by the people she loved most. When her mother, Rose Emma, dies, Rose Ella returns home carrying years of unanswered questions—and a lifetime of emotions she thought she had finally learned to bury.

​

But grief has a way of uncovering what silence has protected.

Determined to understand what happened before her mother died, Rose Ella begins asking questions her father doesn't want to answer. But the deeper she searches into her family's past, the more she realizes that some secrets don't disappear simply because the people who carried them are gone.

​

And just when Rose Ella believes the storm belongs to her past, the truth begins reaching into her present.

​

For eight years, she has believed she found peace with Matthew—the man she loves, the life she built, and the future she thought was finally hers. But sometimes the life we believe is safe is only a story we have been telling ourselves.

​

Now Rose Ella must face a truth that threatens to unravel everything she thought she knew about love, marriage, family, and herself.

​

Strength of a Rose is a story of love, loss, betrayal, family secrets, and the courage it takes to confront the truth.

​

Because sometimes strength isn't found in avoiding the storm.

Sometimes it is found in discovering that you can still bloom after it.

​

And Rose Ella is about to discover just how strong she really is.
