Author Rose Gordy will be visiting The Village at Rockville to discuss her book The Ladies Baltimore

March 8, 2012 - PRLog -- The Village at Rockville has invited writer Rose Gordy to be a featured guest on their "Meet the Author Series." On Friday March 9, 2012 from 2:30 to 4pm Rose will participate in a Q&A session as well as sign copies of her four books - "The Ladies Baltimore," "Unsettled Lives," "Into The Green Unknown," and "Stairs to the Attic - A Collection of Poems." This event will be held at 9701 Viers Dr in Rockville, MD 20850.

Author and dream counselor Rose Gordy spent thirteen years of her early life as a nun effectively cut off from the world. In spite of the conditions within the Church, she managed to leave and make a life for herself including getting married and having three sons. Through her experiences in the convent as well as decades of teaching in the classroom, she has woven compelling stories and poems honoring the lives lost and changed forever by adversity.

In "The Ladies Baltimore: Mothers and Daughters Alone and Together," an aged nun, a depressed waitress, and a lively teenage girl cross paths on a luncheon cruise in the Baltimore Harbor. Each woman will have a succession of unexpected and unique experiences related to mothers and daughters and to the various men in their lives. Spanning eight decades, the story organically unwinds in non-linear fashion as does life. But will these ladies' emotional resistance to the unknown lead them to destroy their vital links to the past? Or will they, through a cascading series of apparently chance encounters and fateful incidences around Baltimore, finally realize how they are profoundly connected? Perhaps time will tell if their lives are sublime results of synchronicity or merely chance encounters.

"Stairs to the Attic" is a collection of poetry down to earth yet otherworldly, a book which instinctually eschews the conventional. Amidst the hundreds of little adventures within these pages, readers will no doubt find themselves transported to places and feelings familiar and fantastic. One could watch TV but nothing captures an experience like the timeless rhythmical synergy of song & speech which Humans call Poetry. The poem which gives this book its title, Stairs to the Attic, paints a picture of youth restrained but always one step away from the truth. Will a group of former nuns find out the secret their convent held from them? What could possibly happen when these liberated women return decades later full of latent curiosity? Other poems delve into the dreamscape, the synchronistic, the blood bonds, the shadow memories, the earthiness, the maternal instincts, the harkening forward and the eyeful. Filled with 38 original photographs and over 140 poems this unexpected book will break the proverbial mold.

"Unsettled Lives," a collection of short stories, is a book which explores the roads of momentous decisions and adversity while treading in the realm of unforeseen conundrums and proverbial forks in the road. Women and men who search for the unattainable, protagonists who challenge the status quo, victims who play their part so well, all dance together in the grand spectacle of life. Throughout 21 short "unsettled" stories, numerous situations of emotional and social consequence will be offered to the reader. In "Lila, The Love of His Lonely Life," will Charles ever come to grips with his ephemeral obsession? What is Sister Alberta in "Masquerades" aiming to discover by ingenious cloak-and-dagger operations? Furthermore, what could the doctor In "Joy's Esperanza" tell open-minded Joy that would send her into serious self-doubt? So please hold on for an exceptional psychological trip into the various lives within "Unsettled Lives" ... and don't forget to choose the right door in your own.

This event will be held from 2:30-4pm on March 9, 2012 at The Village at Rockville, 9701 Viers Dr in Rockville, MD 20850. www.thevillageatrockville.org. To contact The Village about this event, dial 301-354-8447.
