She moves into Celine and Truman Calvert's spacious house with a secret, however-Rosie sees colors when she hears sound. She promised her mother she'd never reveal her little-understood ability to anyone, but the weight of her isolation and grief prove too much for her. Driven by her loneliness she not only breaks the vow to her mother, but in a desperate moment lets down her guard and ends up pregnant. Banished by the Calverts, Rosanne believes she is bound for a home for unwed mothers, and having lost her family she treasures her pregnancy as the chance for a future one. But she soon finds out she is not going to a home of any kind, but to a place far worse than anything she could have imagined. Austria, 1947- After witnessing firsthand Adolf Hitler's brutal pursuit of hereditary purity-especially with regard to "different children"-Helen Calvert, Truman's sister, is ready to return to America for good. But when she arrives at her brother's peaceful vineyard after decades working abroad, she is shocked to learn what really happened nine years earlier to the vinedresser's daughter, a girl whom Helen had long ago befriended. In her determination to find Rosanne, Helen discovers that while the war had been won in Europe, there are still terrifying battles to be fought at home"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 $a Teenage Pregnancy $x Fiction 650 $a Vineyards $x Fiction 650 $a People With Disabilities $x Fiction 650 $a Involuntary sterilization $x Fiction 650 $a Synesthesia $x Fiction 650 $a Psychiatric Hospitals $x Fiction 650 $a Color-hearing $x Fiction 650 $a Friendship $x Fiction 650 $a California $x Fiction 650 $a Large print books 650 $a Domestic fiction 650 $a Historical fiction 941 $a 14 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20240509013504.0 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430021248.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409044300.0 952 $l LYPB815 $d 20231013130319.0 952 $l YLPC314 $d 20230919014954.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20230830010529.0 952 $l WUPB305 $d 20230816011306.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20230802011823.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20230802011708.0 952 $l CRPC926 $d 20230727011406.0 952 $l RFPC397 $d 20230721011008.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230621010421.0 952 $l W7PA017 $d 20230616010214.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230603010642.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2005C75EEFC111EDAE65B74A2EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
