title: In Search of the Rose Notes: A Novel
author:  Emily Arsenault 
description: ...a compelling psychological mystery, told from the alternating point of view of the 20-something narrator and her confused preteen self. ... Instead of dwelling on fear and pain, Arsenault guides the reader through grief, compassion, and understanding in this emotionally complex and deeply satisfying read. (Publishers Weekly <strong>(starred review)</strong>)<br /><br />Emily Arsenaults absorbing second book, In Search of the Rose Notes, is at least as much a novel as a detective story.... Ms. Arsenault here reveals strange truths beneath everyday surfaces and shows that truth sometimes isnt all that strange. (Wall Street Journal)
