Books

Though my main focus is writing for young readers, I also write for the adult space under the pen name J.S. Rosen.

My debut collection of short stories, Unbroken, received a starred review from Kirkus Reviews and a five-star review from Readers’ Favorite.

About the book:

“There was something to be said for ignoring a facet of life until the moment you most desperately needed it.”

A young woman reflects on the moment her father deserted her as a child at a baseball game, and the reason she still goes back to watch.

A divorced father encounters someone unexpected at a train station.

A Jewish girl mourns the passing of her great-grandmother, only to discover the value in the legacy she left behind.

Each character in this collection of stories has a unique experience with a loved one, but what they take away from those moments is far more important than the event itself.
