Supported by her, “Don’t Blame the Road”. Rose shared her inspirational life story for women and girls throughout the country with Fran Powers’ Powerstories Theater.

It is a physical and spiritual journey that is sure to move the reader to another place.

In some ways, this book is like a stroke survivor’s prayer book.
