Book Overview

A reissue of a hidden gem from the award-winning author of Sugar, this novel tells the story of a woman who uncovers the fragility of life and the enduring strength of family love.

Camilla's childhood was immersed in love and chaos, and steeped in perfection. As an adult she hasn't looked back, refusing to acknowledge the people and places that scarred her so many years ago. But a cancer diagnosis forces Camilla to turn to the past, and all its pain, to save her daughter.

As Camilla discovers the bittersweet limitations of motherhood and reconciliation, she also awakens an inspiring message about the mortality issues we all must face.

Unfolding in a progression of powerful chapters, Camilla's Roses portrays a life haunted by the past, and the choices we all make to fight for a future.
