This is Bruce Rosen’s critically acclaimed first book, and is a memoir dedicated to his mom, Alma Lorraine Rosen, a psychic who supported her family by reading tea leaves for the famous, such as Marlon Brando. Rosen covers his regret at the severing of a once-thriving 25-year marriage, the joy of parenthood, and finding forgiveness for an abusive father. He reflects on life in various places in the world, such as San Francisco, New York, Costa Rica, Paris, Florence, London during the terrorist bombings, and Bangkok during the coup. Rosen discusses the erroneously reported death of his uncle, a Jewish gangster stock promoter who survived a bomb explosion the night before he was to testify in a headline-grabbing trial, coming to terms with an unraveling economy, and the thrill of international recognition as a writer on the BBC and at the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Bruce F. Rosen, an investment officer at a major financial firm by day, is a writer by night. An award-winning writer as early as high school, Rosen has written professionally for over three decades and has been featured in such publications as the San Francisco Chronicle, San Francisco Examiner, and Asian Week, where he was a reporter. In addition to a stint as a journalist in Chinatown, he has crafted essays on sports, politics, economics, and music. Rosen blends the unique ability to grasp the complexity of economics with a graceful narrative writing style. He has a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from the University of California-Santa Barbara and an MA in international relations from San Francisco State University.
