Rosetta was born in 1909 as the youngest of ten children. The family had more laughter than money and neighbors would knock on their door to ask, "Can we come in and laugh, too?"
A passionate and poignant memoir written by a woman whose life has been guided by the words: "I am here to learn how to love well." The book is a deep examination of relationships, family, motivation, and honoring of the Self.

Background
Information
I grew up in Kent, Ohio in a Catholic home. After high school, I entered a Poor Clare Monastery where I lived a spiritually challenging life for thirty years and then launched into hermit life in a cabin in a WV holler - a transformative experience! I met and married Fr. Paul Fredette in 1996. We've been living on a mountainside in North Carolina for over sixteen years where we maintain a world-wide ministry to hermits. I've been writing and publishing since 1969 - articles, poetry, short stories, biography, fiction and non-fiction books. I mentor solitaries, co-edit Raven's Bread Newsletter and look after our four-legged family of two Border Collies and two white cats.
