Women's experiences are unique. Our connections, our trauma and our strength all deserve a voice. Rosie Lane has endured enough tragedy and loss for one lifetime. And yet her plans to live peacefully in the splendour of farm life and write her first novel are thwarted when an old box containing four envelopes leads her to discover a hidden family history. When the doppelganger of her deceased son arrives on her doorstep, Rosie further uncovers the mystery of her parentage and learns of a brother she never knew. As the seasons pass, Rosie tries and fails to write as she navigates her resurfacing trauma and grapples with the inevitable task of telling her children the painful secrets she knows. Set within the stunning landscape of rural Australia, Mad Woman Rocking is about the power of creativity, inner strength, friendship and dreaming big.
