About the book: 2020 / Rose Meyers is an independent, confident woman raising two daughters alone. Returning home after an interview for a waitress position, she discovers an unconscious man. She can't leave a stranger in trouble. Rose helps him get to the hospital and get timely medical care. The man is impressed with how Rose handled the emergency.
