Rosetta Allan - Short Reads

Mrs New Zealand Elegance 1986

Plus childhood trauma and abuse

For the first time in her career as a writer, Rosetta shares her story of childhood trauma and abuse that she has kept secret for years. Read the full essay via the link below – thanks to the Three Lamps Literary Journal, Summer 2024.

‘So, here she is – the past, looking over her shoulder in my direction, waiting to see if I’ve got the guts to write about it. And I’m ready to face her, at long last. The her that is her. The her that is me. Who knows what will come of it – I’m open to the possibilities.’
