All the Pretty Roses is a coming of age novella in which a young successful writer looks back on her college years and remembers her quest to find true love-not withstanding its obstacles. She remembers campus Romeo who swept her off her feet and then taught her serious lessons about honesty, trust and higher purpose. She remembers the person who first caught her eye on campus—and it’s not who you think. She forges real bonds and confronts the unfairness of life head-on. She is a survivor, an indecisive musical, written and visual artist, a courageous lover, valued friend, and has written down the bones in this witty version of events she calls A TALE OF BITTERSWEET LOVE AND BETRAYAL.
