‘Rosanna’s life has not been easy. The richly descriptive prose journals her path through hell and back during the post-Vietnam hippie era of northern New South Wales and southern Queensland. Rosanna survives and ultimately thrives, not just through her own strength but through the love shown and shared with a wonderfully eclectic cast of characters. This book has many twists and turns, mystical allusions and historical referencing, so read it slowly to savour the difficult but intriguing mystery and ultimate restoration of her life.’ Dr Margaret Matthews
‘Rosanna is set in a small rural town in the magical forests of the Northern Rivers region of NSW. Underlying this natural beauty is a disturbed and destructive underbelly that reflects a shameful era of neglect, abuse and violence in Australian family culture. Annie O’Moon-Browning’s subtle and sophisticated novel weaves the story of one woman’s triumphant healing journey back to herself. Rosanna is an important read.’ Dr Nicci Buirski
'There are some novels that are woven with magic and Rosanna is one of them. This is a book of the soul, transcending mere storytelling to become a guiding light that illuminates even in the darkest moments of life. Rosanna encapsulates the beautiful essence of Australian magic and infuses it with Celtic folklore to create a mesmerising and enriching tale. O’Moon-Browning writes as if the earth itself composed a melodic symphony, and she stood as the sole enraptured listener to write it for the rest of us to hear.' Paris Thompson, Reviewer
‘I loved the vivid, descriptive prose of O’Moon-Browning’s skilfully crafted novel about Rosanna’s life journey which follows the changing face of Australian history in the counter-culture. It is a beautifully written debut novel that I could not put down.’ Cathy Scully, Karuna Biographer
‘An engaging novel of a young woman’s traumas and journey to healing, revealed through conversations with her therapist. Vivid descriptions of life and landscapes in 1970’s and 1980’s northern New South Wales and Brisbane.’ Suzy Teo, Director Union Society Brisbane
‘Rosanna is a raw and healing tale of Rose’s journey through love, trauma, and loss as a young girl and free spirit in Nimbin, New South Wales. Rosanna explores the deep, spiritual enchantments of Australian nature and its connection to the complexities of human experience.’ Beth Falzon, Reviewer
‘This is a lush and beautifully written novel of female survival. A heartbreaking and inspiring story about a young girl on her healing journey. As her therapist uncovers what Rosanna is hiding and why, an evocative climax builds to a rewarding finish. The author has captured the energy and emotional tension of intertwining relationships. I connected with the beautiful Australian threads which are woven throughout the book – the places, people, and landscapes are beautifully described. The opening scene at the creek had me at ‘hello’. I absolutely adored this book.’ Vicki Bennett, Author

This rug is such good quality and makes me so happy every time I look at it. I'm using this one for a top cover over my bedspread. It's a perfect match for my room and linen. I have another that I use as a throw for the lounge and a picnic rug! In LOVE.

The postage was incredibly quick and the quality and colours far exceeded what I thought. The pics don't do them justice. Truly unique rugs that I doubt will date anytime soon. I would recommend - beautiful rug and great customer service.

My husband argued with me saying we didn’t need a new blanket. Once we received this one, he quickly changed his tune. It’s cozy, soft and warm. I love the design and boho vibe it adds to our home. High quality product at an affordable price.
