Excerpt from Hera's Revenge:

Mom lays the knife down and grabs a box of candles from the cupboard, stabbing them into the cake randomly. "Do you know why I wanted to name you Rose so badly?"

"You've told me a thousand times; because of the movie and passionate love." I absently pick at a thread on the hem of my sleeve.

"Yes, I knew I wanted a little girl who would know the finer things in life and maybe grow to love diamonds." She shrugs her shoulders.

"Mom, seriously, did you even watch the end of the movie? That wasn't Rose at all. She was the opposite."

Mom waves me off, "Of course I watched the end of the movie. But we both know that if the boat hadn't sunk, she would have realized that Jack was no good and married the other guy."

"What? No, she wouldn't have. I am so glad you didn't name me Rose because it would have been bad enough without it being done under false pretenses."

My mom sighs, "It isn't about Jack or what's his name. It was about a girl who was spunky but knew how to play by the rules. And it worked out for her in the end anyway. Playing by the rules and fitting in are both very important if you want to create a successful life."

"And I am trying to do that, even if my name isn't, thank God, Rose. You really would have scarred me for life with that name." I say, shaking a finger at her.

My mom stops stabbing the poor, injured cake and looks at me, pressing her lips together. "Look, I'm not mad that you are quitting. You can do what you want. I just wanted to make sure you had some employment when you got out of college, and I thought you'd be grateful."

"I am grateful. I just don't love it there. And Joanne's name tastes like burnt hair."

Mom chuckles at that one."That's not surprising. She kind of looks like burnt hair. Listen, there's a ton of kids your age who don't even have a job, and there's a lot of opportunity in that company."
