Synopsis

Families have secrets. Roxy’s family has more than its share.

So, she flees to Hollywood to follow her dream and create a new life for herself. Easier said than done. Though bombarded with daily challenges, Roxy and Ginn, her wounded warrior roommate, manage to find humor in their frequent calamities with the help of an amazing dog. But then, Roxy's mother moves in.

Along comes the well-connected acting coach, James Jonathan Jarvis, and Roxy’s big break in showbiz: a part in a reality TV show with a wilderness survival theme. 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
