The Heart and Other Monsters
Author: Rose Andersen
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 163557515X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
"Impossible to put down. It haunts me still.” -Alex Marzano-Lesnevich, author of The Fact of a Body: A Murder and a Memoir A riveting, deeply personal exploration of the opioid crisis-an empathic memoir infused with hints of true crime. In November 2013, Rose Andersen's younger sister Sarah died of an overdose in the bathroom of her boyfriend's home in a small town with one of the highest rates of opioid use in the state. Like too many of her generation, she had become addicted to heroin. Sarah was 24 years old. To imagine her way into Sarah's life, Rose revisits their volatile childhood, marked by their stepfather's omnipresent rage and their father's pathological lying. As the dysfunction comes into focus, so does a broader picture of the opioid crisis and the drug rehabilitation industry in small towns across America. And when Rose learns from the coroner that Sarah's cause of death was a methamphetamine overdose, the story takes a wildly unexpected turn. As Andersen sifts through her sister's last days, we come to recognize the contours of grief and its aftermath: the psychic shattering which can turn to anger, the pursuit of an ever-elusive verdict, and the intensely personal rites of imagination and art needed to actually move on. Reminiscent of Alex Marzano-Lesnevich's The Fact of a Body, Maggie Nelson's Jane: A Murder, and Lacy M. Johnson's The Other Side, Andersen's debut is a potent, profoundly original journey into and out of loss.

Pages : 183
Book Description
Beautiful Rose MacKenzie was a woman with every advantage that money could buy. From her penthouse apartment high above New York City to her exquisite collection of art to her private fleet of planes, Rose had the world at her fingertips. She was the heiress to the Royal Coachman financial empire, and she had the business acumen to follow in her grandfather’s footsteps. But Rose’s glamorous world was beginning to wear thin. Where was the romance, the excitement, the passion everyone talked about? Dan Masters seemed to answer the call. With an intriguing trail of blue roses and an unforgettable kiss, he insinuated himself into Rose’s life. Sexy and mysterious, Dan knew details about her childhood, he family—even her favorite foods. But he also seemed to know the woman inside; he understood her hopes and fears, her dreams and regrets, her hidden passions. Rose couldn’t help but be attracted to Dan, but how could she trust her heart? His insights were spooky, his determination frightening. Besides, modern women did not fall in love with strangers who blazed into town with a knowing grin and a fistful of dollars. She would have to keep her distance. She would have to ignore the glimmer in his eyes, the lilt in his smile, the warmth of his touch. And most of all, she would have to hide her heart from this man who was so determined to bring a tender rose to full blossom.
