Barbara de la Cuesta Releases HENRIETTA ROSE

BEACHWOOD, N.J.

Inspired by the author's personal recovery from alcoholism, the novel "Henrietta Rose" (published by iUniverse) by Barbara de la Cuesta tells the story of a young woman whose addiction and recovery bring about major life changes. De la Cuesta's book will reach a wider audience this year by way of a new marketing campaign for 2015.

Henrietta Rose, once a rich and famous hostess traveling internationally, sobers up after a lifetime of alcohol abuse. Henrietta has lost almost everything, including her three children, due to her past drinking habits.

It is only when Henrietta organizes a dinner party to reconnect with her brother and grandson that she realizes her true purpose in life.

"(The book) is an inside look at a family disease afflicting many," de la Cuesta says. "It is also an intimate look into the 12-Step Program and the changes it can make in one's life."
