Little Rose

Little Rose West was a girl from Syracuse, New York, in 1983. Little Rose overcame so many traumas. She was raped, beaten, shot, and even hit by a car, but she still chose to see the beauty of life. She knew that just because horrible things happen--and boy, she endured everything imaginable--she knew that didn't decide who you were or even where you would end up someday. She never focused on the horrible experiences she may have had to overcome, but instead, she just kept dreaming. And boy, dreams do come true. Sometimes the dreams that are put in your heart when you are just a little girl, she always knew, are there for a reason: first, to give you hope when there seems like nothing good could possibly happen; second, to keep you on the path that is truly laid out for you, no matter who or what may hurt you or even abuse you.This story takes her from a broken-down backyard daydream to a promising fashion designer, which takes her to a once-in-a-lifetime romance in Tuscany, Italy, which becomes the love of her life. And boy, she deserved it!
