Summary
Her book, Fortunate Daughter, A Memoir of Reconciliation was published in 2021 and was awarded first place in the Chanticleer International Book Awards in 2023. In this story, Rosie offers the reader a portrait of childhood sexual abuse, followed by the difficult and painful task of healing—a journey that, in the end, reveals a complicated and rare experience of repair, reconciliation and the freedom that comes along with it.
Rosie participates in community-based activities attempting to eradicate inequities and she brings personal experience and a solid understanding of the current research and findings to support and promote healing in all the work she does.
