Set in the mid-70's, "The Rose from Sharon" is a story established around a precious, strong willed young girl by the name of Rose Johnson. In this novel, the underpinnings of life threaten to strain the family and it is Rose's love for her family that compels her to act as the adhesive before it all goes too far. Her father Rufus is the established deacon at the largest Baptist church in town. He is a man that is well respected, yet allows himself to become lured into a situation that threatens to ruin him and destroy his family. To further add insult to injury, Rose's brother Larry, a Vietnam veteran, scarred by the ravages of the war, living in Minnesota, moves back to town.

In the midst of the madness, Rose feels torn by her loyalties to the ones that she loves. Yet, it is her strength and integrity that helps her make the right choices.
