Rose Motel

by Megan Calfas

Synopsis

A snowstorm traps high schooler Jaime in the Rose Motel—a place where candy is served for dinner, cooks spend most of their days in long bubble baths, and flowers are watered with melted snow. The motel's owner, Rose, tries to deny sorrow with sweetness, eventually discovering there are some things candy can't cure.
