Jana Marie Rose presents her book of letters written for young women, about women's equality in the 21st century. To reserve your copy for this event, please call or email the store.

In January 2020, before the world became aware of the emerging pandemic, Jana Marie Rose traveled to Paris for one week to write a book of letters for young women about women's equality in the 21st century. Each letter is from a different cafe in various arrondissements in Paris. While sharing her own stories of faithfulness, pain and loss, romance and motherhood, she encourages young women to find strength in being unique individuals, in loving their bodies, in meditation and prayer, in traveling alone, and releasing the shame and trauma of patriarchal religion. With sass, humor, and sincerity, she shares her vision and experience of Jesus as a yogic guru who can be a source of potency and inspiration to make the world more equitable for women, and more in tune with the divine feminine.

Jana Marie Rose is a teacher and writer who also does intuitive healing, yoga and meditation coaching. She has published fiction and nonfiction, writes screenplays, and does performance art. Her fiction has won the SLO Night Writers prize and has been runner-up for new writer's awards in Glimmer Train and Philadelphia Stories. She writes a monthly column about movies for The Shuttle through the co-op Weaver's Way and hosts a weekly newsletter about consciousness in film through substack, called the Ms. Wonderful Film Club. She is the mother to three children and a yogi cat. She lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
