Rosa, Sola
By Carmela Martino
Both heart-rending and full of hope, this rich, sympathetic portrayal of an only child coping with loss takes readers back to an earlier generation.
As an only child living with her Italian immigrant parents in 1960s Chicago, Rosa often feels sola and different. She thinks her prayers for a sibling have been answered when her mother becomes pregnant. But when she learns her brother was stillborn, Rosa feels more sola than ever and wonders if her broken family will ever be happy again.
- Challenged by loss and ultimately bolstered by hope, Rosa will win readers’ hearts as she makes the discovery that she’s not alone -- and that love and kinship are sometimes found in the most unexpected places.
