Book Description
Rosa’s Einstein is a Latinx retelling of the Brothers Grimm’s Snow-White and Rose-Red, reevaluating border, identity, and immigration narratives through the unlikely amalgamation of physics and fairy tale. In this full-length poetry collection, the girls of Rosa’s Einstein embark on a quest to discover what is real and what is possible in the realms of imagination, spurred on by scientific curiosity and emotional resilience. Following a structural narrative arc inspired by the archetypal hero’s journey, sisters Rosa and Nieve descend into the desert borderlands of New Mexico to find resolution and healing through a bold and fearless examination of the past, meeting ghostly helpers and hinderers along the way. These metaphorical spirits take the shape of circus performers, scientists, and Lieserl, the lost daughter Albert Einstein gave away. Poet Jennifer Givhan reimagines the life of Lieserl, weaving her search for her scientist father with Rosa and Nieve’s own search for theirs. Using details both from Einstein’s known life and from quantum physics, Givhan imagines Lieserl in a circus-like landscape of childhood trauma and survival, guided by Rosa and Nieve.

Book Description
Set in the beautiful port city of Genoa, Italy, at the turn-of-the-century, The Scent of Rosa's Oil is a magical story that attests to the strength of longing, the consequences of betrayal, and the nostalgic memories only a one-of-a-kind fragrance can evoke . . . The only home Rosa has ever known is the Luna brothel, where she's lovingly cared for by Madam C and all the women who work there. Madam C shelters Rosa from what really goes on at the Luna by telling her they play a game with the men who visit. Naturally, Rosa is curious and can't wait until she grows up so she can also play the game. But when a twist-of-fate forces Rosa to leave the Luna after her sixteenth birthday, she goes to stay with her new friend Isabel, an old woman who distills oils. The strange smells and smoke that emanate from Isabel's shack have deemed her a witch to the locals, but only Rosa sees a lonely, tender woman with a passion for making beautifully-scented oils. Enchanted by the intoxicating fragrances around her, Rosa becomes Isabel's apprentice, learning the art of extracting a flower's essence and selling the oils in the town square. Soon everyone in Genoa is talking about the pretty, young girl with the lush locks of red hair who sells aromatic oils in the piazza. Some say she has the oil to cure whatever ailment one has, while others say her oils will capture the heart of a special person. Indeed, Rosa has learned Isabel's secret for creating her own "perfect oil"--a unique fragrance that holds a mysterious power. Now Rosa needs a miracle to make Renato, the man she has fallen in love with, see past the ugly rumors he's heard about her and the Luna brothel. Disguising herself with a black wig and dabbing her special fragrance on her wrists, Rosa sets out to win Renato. But how long can Rosa keep her true identity hidden? And when destiny intervenes, challenging their love in unforeseeable ways, they'll need a magic even greater than the scent of Rosa's oil. . . A timeless, moving tale, The Scent of Rosa's Oil transports readers on an enthralling, unforgettable journey. . .

Book Description
Rosa Brown was an educated sixty-year-old woman, who worked in the corporate world. Life was good until she was informed by her employer that her services were no longer needed. Devastated and confused, Rosa found herself living in a women's shelter in Washington, DC. Eventually her life became elevated when she joined a work program and found steady employment as a receptionist. Jay Schroeder, a white male friend and his sister Mona gave Rosa two gifts: a place of her own to live, and a top-of-the-line sewing machine, enabling her to follow her dream as a fashion designer. After modeling her designer dress on the runway of a fashion show in Atlanta, Rosa was sought out by a celebrity who hires her as a personal stylist and tailor. Rosa then becomes her own celebrity. She leaves her adopted family at Millie's House in the nation's capital to fulfill her dream in Atlanta. Everyone she knows is amazed at this miracle, herself included. And Rosa becomes a testimony for other women. The author tells the story of a woman who rose from poverty to riches by using her natural talent and gifts. Readers are taken on a journey through life on the streets of Washington, DC, and a view of what many homeless women encounter regularly. The author also introduces readers to Millie's House, a day service for women to meet and change their lives. This story defies the stereotypical attitudes and preconceived notions surrounding some women who suffer the experience of homelessness. There is a message in Rosa's story; that a woman can hit rock bottom in life, put hands and feet to her faith, and follow her dreams no matter what circumstances she encounters.
