description: When Rose was 4, she left America with her mother and returned to England. The following May, her half sister was born, who as she got older would race from disaster to disaster. Rose, in her quiet way, salvaged the family, held them together, and pasted over the cracks of tragedy and emotional upheavals, while at the same time fighting her own personal crises.
