It's 1953 and Rosie is 7 years old. She lives in a café where a menagerie of neighbors come to eat and catch up on the gossip. The alleyways are teeming with crooks, fortune-tellers, card-sharks, and ladies of the night. But Rosie is hoping to be adopted soon. Then she learns that the woman she has always known as "The Perfume Lady" is not only a professional tart & a gin addict but also her mother! But the toughest racketeer has a soft spot for Rosie and between him and the neighborhood they will be making sure Rosie goes to a good home. This is a fun, wonderful, feel good story that you just don't want to end. I truly enjoyed it.
