At the center of Planted is a truth we believe in: that stories can heal. Sharon Rose shares her life in fragments—scenes of a painful childhood, the quiet grief of hiding, the rage of breaking free, and the slow discovery of beauty in ordinary things. This book is not just her past laid bare; it is proof that from anguish, strength can rise.

We exist to bring forward voices like Sharon’s, voices that do not shy away from rawness or imperfection. Her journey is not neat or polished—it is human, and it carries the rhythm of real life. With every page, she shows that growth is not a straight line. It comes through anguish, through mistakes, through letting go and starting again.

Planted is not only Sharon’s memoir. It is an invitation for every reader to see their own strength mirrored in her words. We stand for stories that carry scars, for truths that make space for healing, and for reminding one another that even when life uproots us, we still have the power to grow.

And so, this work is more than just a book—it is a safe space. A place where silence turns into voice, where hidden pain becomes visible, and where every reader is reminded that their own story matters. We are here to honor that truth.
