Rose O'Keefe has enjoyed revisiting her South Wedge neighborhood's history. She grew up in the suburbs of New York City, but after living in France for four years as a girl, returned to the U.S. seeing America differently. Rose moved to Rochester, New York after college, fell in love with the Finger Lakes area, and became intrigued by the family life of abolitionists Frederick and Anna Douglass. Rose O'Keefe is the author of six history books. Her last, All Rights for All: Working for Justice, (IngramSpark, September 2023) looked at the world of 19th-century abolitionists. Rose writes mostly non-fiction history and neighborhood news.
