Review of Rose Alone
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Rose Alone" by Sheila flynn-decosse.]
"Rose Alone” by Sheila Flynn Decosse a captivating book that interweaves the experiences of diverse individuals seeking a better life. Through the stories of Rose and others, the book explores themes of loss, resilience, and the power of compassion.
In the first story, "Rose Alone," we witness the emotional journey of a family facing the death of their beloved father during a treacherous sea voyage. The protagonist, Rose, emerges as a symbol of strength and resilience as she supports her siblings and finds solace in her faith. The overarching theme of family bonds and the human spirit's ability to endure shines through in this poignant tale.
The book "Rose Alone” delves into Rose's search for a sense of belonging in a new environment. The kind-hearted Wells family becomes her refuge, allowing her to navigate her Acadian identity and form a deep friendship with Sarah. Friendship, cultural identity, and the pursuit of truth are themes that resonate strongly in this heartwarming narrative.
In the book, Rose's experience as a young enslaved girl takes center stage. Her decision to remain with her mistress, despite the chance to escape to freedom, reveals her unwavering dedication and compassion. With each page, the book offers a profound insight into the challenges faced by enslaved individuals and the remarkable resilience they demonstrated.
Overall, "Rose Alone” by Sheila Flynn Decosse paints a vivid picture of the struggles, triumphs, and indomitable spirit of those yearning for a better life. It reminds us of the power of compassion, the importance of cultural identity, and the enduring strength of the human spirit. Through the characters' stories, we are invited to reflect on our capacity for empathy, understanding, and creating a more inclusive society.
I think adding more subtle character traits and mannerisms for each character, smoother linking of certain story beats, and more descriptive details, especially for settings and people's emotions would make the book more interesting.
I rate the book three stars out of five because of some grammatical violations.

I hope that this story details Rose’s life. I have seen a lot of novels that include the experiences of slaves in general, but not a specific one. It’s unfortunate that so many errors were found. Thanks!
