Rose's 'Romantic Olive' is an easy-read novel based on fact. Set in Marlborough, New Zealand with Spanish, English, French and Australian connecting threads, this romantic story is also a psychotherapeutic resource guide for all persons and parents who work for, or live with 'at risk' children or adults, mixed ethnicity persons with lost cultural difficulties, dyslexic people, and dis-empowered, confused, lost or heartbroken individuals whose hopelessness causes despair and depression which overrides joyful, healthy positivity, reintroducing Cathar healing wisdom into modern application.
