Author Stephanie Wrobel

Lemont native Stephanie Wrobel visits us virtually to discuss her debut novel, Darling Rose Gold. 

Anderson’s Bookshops has copies for sale. www.andersonsbookshop.com/book/9780593100066

Synopsis: At the opening of the book, Patty Watts is being released after spending five years in prison for systematically poisoning her daughter, a crime so shocking that it became a media sensation in their Illinois town. Having nowhere to go, a now adult Rose Gold offers to take in her mother, again rocking the community. With Wrobel’s fresh spin on stories of Munchausen syndrome by proxy, what remains to be discovered throughout the book is why Rose Gold has agreed to take her mother in after her release—and which woman will end up on top in the shifting power dynamics between mother and daughter. Patty is still the same cruel, coercive, charming-to-a-fault mother she was before prison; but, Rose Gold is no longer the sick vulnerable girl. 

All programs are being offered virtually. Please register as usual and you will be sent the information for accessing the program from home.
