  <default-description>A vivid story of a private grief, a secret painting, and one woman&#8217;s search for hope 

Still mourning the loss of her family in a tragic accident, Lillian Diamon finds herself drawn back to the Rose House, a quiet cottage where four years earlier she had poured out her anguish among its fragrant blossoms. 

She returns to the rolling hills and lush vineyards of the Sonoma Valley in search of something she can&#8217;t quite name. But then Lillian stumbles onto an unexpected discovery: displayed in the La Rosaleda Gallery is a painting that captures every detail of her most private moment of misery, from the sorrow etched across her face to the sandals on her feet.

As the mystery surrounding the portrait becomes entangled with the accident that claimed the lives of her husband and children, Lillian is forced to rethink her assumptions about what really happened that day.

A captivating novel rich with detail, Rose House explores how the brushstrokes of pain can illuminate the true beauty of life.

    <body><![CDATA[I just love the setting of this book! I want to live in or at least visit the Rose House. I would suggest reading the book that Forkner wrote before this one first . . . Can't think of the name . . . it has Ruby in it I think.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Loved this book! Tina Ann Forkner's first novel, Ruby Among Us, is one of my favorites. In Rose House she revisits La Rosaleda, the setting of her first book, but Rose House is more of a mystery-suspense-romance. A real page-turner!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Although I enjoyed the story, I felt there could've been some more character development in some instances. I had also hoped to learn more about the history behind the Rose House and its owners Kitty and Blake.]]></body>
