The Other Woman
A Memoir in Poetry

The book chronicles, in poetic form, the life of a woman who in three distinct and significant life events feels she is “the other woman” to her husband, to her child, and even to herself rather than the woman who is “good enough” just as she is. Not until she loses her eyesight does she finally allow herself to stop putting herself aside and be who she always has been…a strong, insightful, creative, resilient, faith driven, funny, and fun-loving woman; a Resurrected Woman! Additionally, this beautifully written and beautifully designed memoir allows the reader to find connections in some of the poems through Personal Reflection opportunities if desired.Rosebud spent all of her younger years, from birth to undergraduate school in Florida. Since then she has resided in Charlotte, North Carolina where she and her husband raised three children and established enriching careers.Due to diabetic issues in her mid-50’s, Rosebud permanently lost her sight, but did not lose her will and determination to continue her zest for living.  Rosebud has said many times, “God has given me several talents and gifts, and blindness will not restrict me from using them.”  As proof of this belief, Rosebud Turner wrote her first and second children’s books “Through Talen’s Eyes” as well as her memoir “The Other Woman” after sight loss.
