Jennifer Rose

Gayle DeLong was a well-known activist in the autism community, the ‘Warrior Mom’ of two autistic daughters. She worked closely with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on vaccine injury issues. This book is a record (based largely on her diaries) of her happy marriage to Jonathan Rose. Love in the Age of Autism does not sugarcoat the stresses and heartbreak of raising autistic children: it is more honest about that than most other books on the subject. But it is also an inspiring love story, which can help autism parents find profound joys in spite of all the pains. It offers practical advice and models for sharing the burdens and pleasures of life, based on a strong sense of family values. This book frankly (and with an earthy sense of humour) illustrates how autism parents can continue to enjoy passionate, monogamous physical love – and it explains how to provide sex education for autistic girls. The tale that Gayle and Jonathan tell is intensely romantic and life-affirming.

Jennifer and Maddie's first book of poetry.

Eileen Connor hopes that a demanding bilingual job at an ad agency in Geneva will help her forget the man who broke her heart in New York. Instead, she falls in love with architect Matt Edwards—all too likely to be another disastrous choice.

Maddy and Clark never had much—just each other, the kids, and a never-sink spirit. When Maddy enters a jingle contest and wins a trip for two to Venice and half a million dollars, they’re singing for joy. But sudden change can be a mixed blessing . . .

Possibly the only romance ever set in a high-end Montreal kosher restaurant, A Taste of Heaven layers spicy love scenes with directions for making velvety pâté and musings about babies. Will Dena and Richard Klein’s marriage overheat—or will they find more savor and sweetness?

Meg and Don, a.k.a. the Dauntless Duncans, give up their high-powered legal life in Washington, D. C., when they inherit a houseboat in Key West. It’s all renewed romance and conch fritters until Meg saves a little girl from drowning—awakening a maternal longing she never expected to feel.

Swinging golf pro meets icy blond Connecticut country-club widow. Fore!

Can Carrie Delaney find a man good enough to be both a father to her six-year-old, Dannie, and her own second chance at love? During a summer singles week at a Vermont ski resort, Carrie meets two men and is instantly attracted to one of them: a slick, gorgeous “Mr. Impossible.” She tries earnestly to fall in love with the other, a teddy bear of a pediatric dentist and a sweet guy—but not her destiny.

The parents of a happy, blended family with two teenagers, a successful winery in Mendocino County, and a vibrant open-air theater (plus a hot sex life as a couple), Lily and Tom Langdon seem to have re-invented paradise. That is, until Lily’s ex-husband shows up to star in her and Tom’s production of Most Happy Fella . . . and suddenly no one is remotely happy offstage.

Consummate journalist Maggie Devlin has a rule: never get involved with the men she interviews. It’s never been an issue and shouldn’t be one this time around; her subject, the egotistical filmmaker George MacDonagh, holds zero appeal for her. But on-site in misty, magical County Cork, the faeries can bewitch even the most level-headed of women . . .

In her second collection of poems, Jennifer Rose writes primarily of places and displacement. Using the postcard's conventions of brevity, immediacy, and, in some instances, humor, these poems are greetings from destinations as disparate as Cape Cod, Kentuckiana, and Croatia. Rich in imagery, deftly crafted, and imbued with a lightness of voice, these poems are also postmarked from poetry's more familiar provinces of love, nature, and loss.
