Rosie S Miracle

Rosie Flores, 23, a graduate student at the University of New Mexico is returning to her home in Santa Rosita for the summer. She has a problem. Her town is peopled by her xenophobic, but lovable, churchgoing family, the native Americans she grew up with, and radical separatists who allow no "outsiders" (except revenue-producing tourists) to enter their area. Rosie must tell her family members that she is in love with Jon, a doctor who is temporarily working at the town medical clinic. The problem is that Jon is an "outsider," a "gringo," and of a different religion. There is no chance that her family will ever accept him. As one of her friends puts it, Rosie “needs a miracle” to solve her seemingly impossible problem. Her prayers are answered when, after a terrible flood, an object arises from the ground of the old church cemetery. After the object is examined by the town priest, the Elder of the Santa Rosita pueblo and the Alcalde of the town, they receive a stunning surprise that turns the town topsy-turvy; nothing they believe is as it seems. Rosie smiles. What do the people do with this revelation? ARTHUR KORNHABER, MD, psychiatrist, author, and foremost expert on the relationships between the generations frequently appears in the media. He is the author of seven books, six on the topic of grandparenting. During the 1990s, Dr. Kornhaber worked with Native American and Hispanic populations in Northern New Mexico to apply "Grandparent Power," using the influence of Elders to create a modern, culturally-sensitive, mental healthcare system for the young, and to enhance their ability to learn what their local Elders have to teach concerning culture and legacy. During his time there, he became aware of a well-hidden secret. This personal discovery moved him to write his first novel, Rosie's Miracle.

Rosie's Miracle is a story of the seen, and unseen; steeped in the day-to-day reality of the diverse people of northern New Mexico, as well as their profoundly mystical world. It is a love story seemingly doomed to an unattainable future, until an ancient historical object rises up from the ground after a terrible flood. What is the significance of this mysterious object? Can this be an answer to Rosie's prayers? How do the confused and bewildered townspeople of Santa Rosita deal with the meaning of this object? Do they announce its discovery and live with the knowledge it brings, knowledge that challenges the deepest foundations of their identities and roots? Or just return it to its home under the sand.

Miss Rosie, a small newborn alpaca, knew at the end of the day on July 17, there would be something special about her lifemilk bottles, leg braces, a large teddy bear, and a very special blankie. Could she and her human, Momma Q, understand and learn from each other? It would be the beginning of a beautiful and funny, heartfelt story that changed lives. Miss Rosies Miraculous Journey is one of uncertain changes, challenges, and acceptance no matter the obstacles to overcome. Miss Rosies triumph evokes the warm and humorous combination of Charlottes Web meets Hank the Cow Dog. But the greatest of these is love (1 Corinthians 13:13).
