Roses & Daisies
With the sudden tragic death of her only child, Rosie, strong, dependable Laurel Carmichael Tanner, finding she is unable to cope, consequently gets in her car, taking only her credit card and her cell phone, and makes a cross country trip along the Trans-Canada-Highway. She tells no one that she’s left, or where she’s going. She says to her husband, Doug, in a phone conversation “I don’t know when I’ll be home” and refuses to speak to him further.
Stunned, Doug turns to Laurel’s twin brother Linden, whom Laurel shares a mild and sporadic telepathic communication with, and enlists his help in finding her.
Told with both sorrow and humor, in first person through the eyes of seven different characters, this novel examines relationships and our perceptions of people as well as the depression associated with losing a loved one. Often what we believe about another, or ourselves, may not be the truth. Deep spiritual beliefs also guide these people as they struggle to make sense of the incomprehensible and warm family commitments help Laurel find the answers she searches for.
