Don Rose was inspired to write When the Day Ends��and Dreams Begin��because of his close relationship with his children and grandchildren. Don recognized the great talent of Javier Lopez, his son-in-law, when Javier penned a poem after the loss of Madison, the youngest child of Don and Jenny, in 2015. Together they wrote this book for all to enjoy. Don is a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, an Army veteran,
landscape architect, artist, and on the Board of Papillon Center for Loss and Transition in Monterey, California. He lives in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, with his wife,
Jenny, and their dog, Uncle Frank.
