Under The Bed Across The World

Coming in September!

Under the Bed Across the World, Rose’s poignant account of her journey from
incest and addiction into recovery, is both tragic and humorous. Her
account of how her sexually abusive Jewish father divided her loyalty
between him, her mother, and herself provides a microcosm for how sexual
abuse and addiction destroy the human family.  By confronting her past,
Rose sheds her loyalty to her abusive relatives and creates her own unique
family unit through international adoption.  The memoir raises the
question: Can contentment be found after departure from the quagmire of
toxicity?


Author Rose Candis lives with her daughter Erica, fiance Patrick, step-daughter
Lucy and two cats in Kentucky. She has a private psychotherapy practice
where she specializes in eating disorders and trauma. In 2011, Rose
returned to China in search of Erica’s birth mother. Since that time, their
story has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, and The Pulitzer
Center for Crisis reporting. Rose met with the Executive Congressional
Commission on China in DC three times from 2012-2013 to encourage reform
for more transparent adoptions in China.
