A Rose Beneath the Thorns

A HARD TO PUT DOWN BOOK. From wanting to see what could happen next, to what else could happen to this poor woman. This woman that went thru so much & never gave up looking for happiness. I'm glad to see another cycle of abuse was broken. Her children are successful & the struggle to make it is not as tough for them, thanks to her endurance. It must have taken a lot to relive all of this & share her life with us, Thank you for that. I know that we are never alone it is good to see I am not alone in this belief. I look forward to more from Rose, you left me wondering.

Gripping

I couldn't put the book down. This is an american story of the struggle that so many single mothers have endured. Abusive relationships can blossom into happy endings. People love to blame their present day problems on their upbringing. Witness the true to life drama of an american family that does not allow the past horrors dictate their future. You won't want to put this book down...

If you want true inspiration, this is definitely the book!

This book could not have a more appropriate title. I wish every woman who feels she's had a hard life, or been dealt a bad hand, etc. would read this. Rosie Hodges is living proof that adversity can be overcome and your life is what you make of it, together with God.

This book is excellent,and the author reveals her soul to us

The book takes you on an emotional journey, which is filled with the gamut of sentiments regarding the ups and downs of being raised up in an abusive environment, as a child, and then- lo, and behold- marrying into an abusive relationship as an adult, not once-- but twice. Sometimes you feel absolute sorrow, other times you might say, "how STUPID can she be?" Don't be surprised if you even feel hurt at times, when she goes through hurt, and pain, and abuse-- by spirits of MACHO. And-yes, there are times of joy, and happiness, showing allout moods of upbeat and high spirits! The author is very good in her literary expressions. In fact, it gets to the point that you want to DARE NOT put it down(this book); your mind becomes suspenseful and you begin to feel, "I've got to know what happened next!" It's just a great book... and to top it ALL, the outcome is not defeative for the author-- it's triumph!
