In the linked essays that make up her debut collection, memoirist Kathy Rizza explores the profound impact of her traumatic childhood, an awareness of her own "otherness," and a burgeoning desire to reject a life of sacrifice. An unflinching story of resilience, faith, tenacity, and love, Reclaiming the Rose demonstrates how one can reclaim the beauty in our story while still recognizing the truth in our struggle and pain. With utmost honesty and personal courage, Rizza intricately examines her journey towards embracing her full identity.
