Her hopes crumble when her confused mother disappears a week before rehearsals are to begin. Roxy's search leads her to Northern Wyoming, where she and Madeline become trapped in a life-and-death situation. Will her recently learned survival skills be enough to save them both? SAVING MADELINE is an entertaining story with humor, emotion, and an unusual mother-daughter relationship. One reviewer described Ms. Rohman's novel as "Joy" meets "Roommates" with a touch of "Still Alice." Book Club discussion questions included. "Ms. Rohman's story is rich with well-defined and likable characters. I found Saving Madeline impossible to pigeonhole into a genre because of its wide appeal. Its humor in the face of tragedy, the despicably opportunistic bad guy, and the unforgettable title character made this a great read that carried me forward, constantly." - Paul Hodo, retired chef, singer, author "If you have any interest in an actor's struggles, a wounded warrior's creativity, or a mother's dark secret, you will enjoy reading SAVING MADELINE. Though serious topics drive the plot in this story, a thread of humor is always close by. Ms. Rohman's well-defined, likable characters and a fascinating sequence of events make this a #mustread novel." - JR Stampfli
