From a Missouri farm to Paris and across America, Rose Ann Findlen’s memoir traces a life shaped by racism, Vietnam, and national violence. Facing loss and disillusionment, she becomes a professional, mother, and daughter while challenging entrenched male entitlement as part of the first postwar wave of college-educated women.

In the Exile Zone
In these stories, a shaman’s egg acts as a divorce arbitrator, a tour guide holds visitors hostage in New York’s most unique cemetery, the boyhood friend of a monstrous Latin American dictator tries to set the record straight, a teenage girl loses her mother in Cancun, a high-powered career couple spies on their Mexican nanny, the wrestler El Santo is unmasked.

The Wounded and Other Stories about Sons and Fathers
The Wounded and Other Stories About Sons and Fathers channels Robert Bly’s Men’s Movement while standing apart from its orthodoxies. Leask’s linked, autobiographical stories—published by New Rivers Press—echo the spare, formative tradition of Hemingway’s In Our Time and Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. This new edition adds two later anthology stories.

Waiting for the Fall
This debut collection of nineteen interconnected stories follows the Woodstock generation—especially women—coming of age in the turbulent 1960s. With insight and wisdom, Rose Ann Findlen explores social class, American landscapes, and the shifting hopes and fears of her characters across decades. Their pleasure, pain, resilience, and determination to love fully despite loss will resonate with baby boomers and the children trying to understand them.
This book is full of surprises. It has celebration, it has sadness.
