The Wilted Rose is the deeply moving story about a young career woman of the 1950s passionately pursuing her dream of becoming a nurse, while facing relentless pressures from family tradition and the prevailing cultural norms of the time.
In the throes of a thriving career, Sarah is determined to balance work, marriage, and motherhood whilst battling with undiagnosed postnatal depression and Bipolar Disorder.
Her husband, Jack, is a gentle, loving man who cares for Sarah and their children through their many challenges as a family.
Meanwhile, their daughter Grace navigates childhood and adolescence, trying to cope with her mother’s mental illness, an often lonely and isolating struggle toward the ultimate freedom of adulthood.
The Wilted Rose is the story of our mothers and our grandmothers and the inner battles they have fought to conform to societal norms.
