Suzanne Tyrpak’s Dark Coming-of-Age Novel Set in The Late 1970s – Rosy: A Novel – Think “Magic Mike meets Looking for Mr. Goodbar”

Dreams can become nightmares. Small town girl, Sarah, hopes to find love and fame in New York City, but following her dreams leads to a downward slide into the insanity of the late 1970s: nightclubs, sex, drugs, and violence ὰ la Magic Mike.

Desperate to dig herself out of debt, Sarah becomes pole dancer, Rosy Dreams. But the more money she makes, the darker her nightmare becomes as she sinks into a world where no one can be trusted–especially the men who claim to adore her. As Sarah slips deeper into the underworld, she questions not only her dreams, but her sanity. She battles demons–imagined and real–fighting to survive the city’s brutality, fighting for her dreams, and ultimately fighting for her life.

I wrote the first draft of Rosy about fifteen years ago. The novel poured out of me, raw and uncut. Each rewrite added more depth, more levels. Writing this book has been an act of joy and, sometimes, agony. I hope you enjoy the ride.
