When the Rose Briar Blooms

When the Rose Briar Blooms

When the Rose Briar Blooms is a love triangle that readers will be eager to debate. Since the first day of sixth grade, Kay and Anna have been inseparable. With fierce and fearless Anna, Kay navigates the middle and high school years of their coastal New Hampshire town unscathed. In return, Anna is enveloped by the warmth of Kay’s home and family. Twenty years later, Kay’s life is upended on a rainy Friday evening, when her husband Matthew announces he is leaving her…for Anna. As she struggles to understand her best friend’s betrayal, Kay explores the evolution of her friendship with Anna, as well as the involvement of Matthew in each of their lives. The journey reveals a why and how that, much like real life, generates authentic debate over who is the hero and who is the villain.
