Coffeehouse #3

Rosalie Otterbourne threw alcohol she found that was her mothers. Her mother has a drinking problem and Rosalie wants to help her mother. Her mother began drinking when her books weren’t selling as much. Rosalie wanted to protect her mothers reputation and not make it seem as if her mother has a drinking problem. In chapter 19 she says “People think I’m awful. Stuck-up and cross and bad-tempered. I can’t help it. I’ve forgotten how to be – to be nice.” Rosalie has sacrificed her own reputation to protect her mothers and that speaks volumes of who she truly is as a person.
