Description Rosie Colored Glasses by Brianna Wolfson
Seeing the world through ROSIE COLORED GLASSES…
Opposites attract, until the magic gives way to misunderstanding. That is the story of the Thorpe family. Rex, practical, is a rule keeper. Rosie, sparkling and unconventional, lives to break the rules. When Rex and Rosie divorce, their daughter, Willow, must navigate their opposing worldviews as she shuffles between them.
But Willow just wants to be with fun-loving Rosie, to bask in her mother’s enchanting glow, the parent who lets her stay up late, miss school, eat candy for breakfast. Rosie’s seemingly outsized love fills a void within Willow. But as her mother’s behavior becomes erratic, her father must step in to shield Willow. Blinded by Rosie’s brilliance, Willow resents Rex’s interference, unable to recognize his kind of love.
Rex has removed his Rosie colored glasses. Now Willow struggles to do the same without diminishing her deep love for her mother.
In turns heartbreaking and uplifting, this novel is about the many ways that love and family, however imperfect, can redeem you.
Praise Rosie Colored Glasses by Brianna Wolfson
“Wolfson’s writing is superb. Without so much as dipping a toe into cliche territory, her heady descriptions of love will curl into readers’ souls. With a simplistic elegance to her prose, the author delivers a treasure of a read.” –The Washington Post
“Rosie Colored Glasses begins with love, imagination and wonder, then slides into haunting loss and longing, but oh, how love remains and bursts forth to fill the story.”–Carol Fitzgerald, Bookreporter
“Brianna Wilson has done a marvelous and generous thing by writing Rosie Colored Glasses. I followed Willow with a hopeful, breaking heart, reminded how all of us, daughters, mothers, parents, children, are ‘different’ in so many ways, and yet so beautiful and absolutely deserving of giving and receiving our love.”–Nancy Thayer, New York Times bestselling author of Secrets in Summer
