SYNOPSYS (OPIS)

Rose is unsettled, curious, and bored. Life in a hippie commune is her parent’s dream come true, not hers. She doesn’t share their passion for living off the land, nor does she enjoy the isolation that is thrust upon her. When she convinces them to send her to public school in the nearby town, a new world opens up to her.
As she pursues her education, Rose chooses a different path, leaving her parents heartbroken at her insistence they are hiding something from her. She’s convinced her father isn’t the man her mother married.
Although she finds love far away from her roots and upbringing, her wounds only deepen as she keeps her family at arm’s length. What she loses during those years can only be retrieved with her understanding that “a Rose by any other name is still a Rose.”


Rose je nestabilna, radovedna in zdolgočasena. Življenje v skupnosti hipijev je bila želja njenih staršev in ne njena. Ne čuti strasti do življenja na deželi, niti ne uživa v izolaciji kateri je prepuščena. Ko starše prepriča, da jo pošljejo v javno šolo, ki je v bližini njihovega kraja, se ji odpre popolnoma nov svet.
Ko Rose nadaljuje z izobraževanjem, si izbere drugo smer življenja. Svoje starše pusti z zlomljenim srcem, saj je prepričana, da ji nekaj prikrivajo. Prepričana je, da njen oče ni moški s katerim je mama poročena. 
Čeprav ljubezen najde daleč stran od svojih korenin in vzgoje, so njene rane še globlje, ko ima svojo družino na dosegu roke. Vse kar v teh letih izgubi, si lahko povrne nazaj, če bo razumela, "da je Rose še vedno Rose".
