Description

---

With a strict upbringing in the Midwest, author Phoenix Rose was molded into what a young woman was expected to be. In her culture, girls were raised to become housewives and mothers in arranged marriages by their late teens. It was all she knew, and it seemed normal to her.

At seventeen, Rose was sent to New York City as a virgin bride to marry a man she didn't know. Away from family, she was forced to learn about life through this emotionally and physically abusive arrangement, later a culturally unacceptable divorce, and years of the painful struggles of trying to find her identity and survive alone in a big city. She was ready to die for her freedom and almost did more than once. She experienced heart-wrenching tragedy, loneliness, trials, and failures leading to a deep depression.

In Writing the Light, Rose narrates her story, sharing how she was on the brink of suicide. This memoir tells about the life lessons learned and her unexpected spiritual awakening. She discusses how she saved herself and now seeks to heal and help others.
