{"product_id":"2940151548427","title":"Climbing the Rock Within","description":"The reader is inside the hazy inquisitive mind of a girl, the youngest of four, and her unnoticeable mild, yet frightening epileptic seizures and heavy meds. She has a well to do egocentric father who denies not only his family’s emotion, but also his own need for a psychiatrist; he tries his way to fame as a photographer and writer. Though having compulsive desires to end her life Rosetta keeps a normal facade. She is intrigued by her brother’s adolescent drug scene till he one time mistreats her; she says nothing, and asks to go away to a Catholic boarding school. There she deliberately stops her medication; no one is called. Confused by college and cotillion parties, she is drawn to an artistic male who unlike herself has to work for a living; they exchange letters. Rosetta hides from him the family befuddlement, her illness; guilt looms.\u003cbr\u003eHer father goes on a trip to photograph France; she helps him and sees his double side: his appreciation of Beauty, his world of Denial. Near the end of college she unburies her fears to a psychiatrist. Once out of school Rosetta feels unworthy of a career, marriage, or motherhood; she goes with a man and his son to live in Hawaii. There she gradually cuts her meds completely, and boards with a welfare mother. One day while babysitting Rosetta has an unconscious seizure; she wakes up with her bike overturned, the baby on the pavement; she realizes it is time to go home to her family. Rosetta asks her father to walk with her on the beach; he is distant. Frustrated, with suicidal thoughts, she fists the stars for help, has a Nervous Breakdown and meets a doctor who, though defiled by the father, does more than save her life.","brand":"Dog Ear Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47073812873456,"sku":"2940151548427","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940151548427_p0.jpg?v=1764012612","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940151548427","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
