About the Author

Rosemary Reilly grew up in a small town in Northern Michigan with her parents and five siblings. Many days were spent outdoors playing games like marbles, baseball, and finding the perfect trees to climb with the neighborhood kids. They would saddle the biggest trees and limbs, pretending it was their horses, which would somehow magically carry them down the road. Rosemary had a special cousin with whom they played as if they were movie stars, borrowing lipsticks, rouge and old purses from their mothers. She believes those days were among her most treasured days of youth.
Later in life she would have the joy of marrying and have two daughters, Lacee and Maddison, whom she would share her childhood memories with . She wanted her daughters to enjoy being young, and to treasure each day building lasting memories. She would say to them, " The time of youth is quite short, for there is little time to be little, and the rest of your life to be an adult. Enjoy being little."
Rosemary has self published a book called "the daisy" in (2013), a tribute to her brother, Michael, and wrote a song in much earlier days. She has primarily focused on inspirational poetry and stories for all age groups, hoping to share some insight of her human experience.
