Desolate, Book I Of The Immortal Rose Trilogy - Plot & Excerpts
Thoughts from the author: This book contains some very sensitive and mature topics that are not suitable for some young adult fans. I recommend that parents please preview the book first. My Arotas trilogy hinted as to what Roseline’s life was like living as a prisoner with a man who thrived off people’s pain. It is deeply disturbing to me to place myself in the mind of an abuser, but for the sake of being real with this story, I chose to show the full extent of Roseline’s transformation, without dwelling on it or being overly graphic. While writing DESOLATE, I found it to be very difficult to put myself in Roseline’s mind as well, to allow myself to not only feel her pain, but also her helplessness and utter brokenness. I cannot begin to fathom the anguish that comes with someone stealing your innocence, of reveling in your pain, but it is sadly a fact of life for many girls. I only hope that through the words of this book I can show that though terrible times may seek to destroy you, strength is birthed from trials.
