"Rosemary is a Dominican, Puerto-Rican American from New York. She is 24 years old. At a young age, Rosemary developed a stutter that kept her from being able to express herself. Through the years, she found that writing enabled her to be able to say things she otherwise kept inside. She had to endure many tragedies in her life, for instance, the death of her father. But, these experiences forced her to face, not only who she is, but who she will become. She's won various awards and has a B.A. in Creative Writing and an Associate degree in Science. Besides her novel, she's also published an autobiographical poetry memoir."
