Lana Rose Shares ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES FROM NORMAL
By: Christina Mancuso May. 12, 2016
"This candid view of the art world from the perspective of an ambitious woman will enthrall, and perhaps frighten, creative audiences," Foreword Reviews said about the new novel "Arrivals and Departures from Normal."
Lana Jean Rose, the author, is an enormously successful environmental artist who suddenly found herself unable to practice her art due to physical pain. She turned to writing as an outlet and, in the process of writing "Arrivals and Departures from Normal", confronted her own inner demons from her past.
"My book is about a teenage girl in her senior year of high school who was emotionally abandoned by her parents, abruptly forced to confront the absurd obstacles of life on her own," said Rose. "The day she turned 18, she returned home to find all of her possessions boxed up on the front porch and a birthday card with a fifty dollar bill and the words 'good luck!' written inside. With no warning, she became homeless and unable to graduate."
On her own, she scrapes and claws her way through life as she grows to become a vibrant and driven individual, faced with a human need for acceptance and love. In what has been called a "mesmerizing, true-to-life story", Rose shows emotional honesty about both the intense lows of feeling unloved and the great heights of the human spirit.
