  Book I of the Rose Series. ~ IPPY AWARD WINNER for Historical Fiction~ 
  Midwest Book Review referred to it as “...an excellent blend and deftly written look at 1930s America in between the Great Depression and the second Great War – highly recommended for fans of coming of age fiction...” 
  Library Journal review of the audio books give it a "Recommended" status:"   Keleny details her [the main character's] journey and the myriad of characters she encounters in an enjoyable and entertaining way." 
  Rose is thrown into the lives of the varied people and towns of the Mississippi while working on river boats, going to a prep school in St. Louis where she lives with a black family in the Ville, and working in a bordello in New Orleans (not as a call girl, of course.

She also discovers the harshness of the world far away from the security of home. Ultimately, Rose realizes what is most important in her life: her family and her friends. Rosebloom takes place at a time in history that buffets Rose between the great depression and the coming wave of World War II.

  Of the author; “(Christine is) A soulful and lively writer.” Christine Keleny spent over four years and traveled over 3500 miles to seven river towns in five states to write a story of her own, this one fictional.

  As daring and defiant as Kirk Douglas journeying 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, there’s no stopping diver Hawk Ridley as he takes the plunge into an ocean of untold riches and danger.  Fighting off ruthless rivals in search of gold is nothing new to Hawk . . . but fighting off a beautiful woman is a different story.  Is she an innocent stowaway or a seductive saboteur?  The answer comes Twenty Fathoms Down—as Hawk makes a discovery that will blow you out of the water. When it came to research, Hubbard was not one to head for the library. He always went to the source—in this case a U.S. navy deep-sea diver who agreed to show him the ropes and the danger. Hubbard admits it was daunting—even frightening—but he returned from the experience with all the first-hand knowledge he needed to fathom the true nature of life and death underwater.
