Her mother's emotional foundation fell away and she fell into depression. She started drinking and she ended up losing her teaching position. Things spiraled out of control for Rose's family until her uncle on her mother's side stepped in to raise Rose when she was 10. Her Uncle took Rose to his family farm just outside of the town of Hope. It was a hard adjustment to farm life for Rose. Whenever she was not in school she was working on that farm. Rose's Aunt never liked Rose's mother and she took it out on Rose. Rose's Uncle however did his best to shield Rose from his wife.

After that he took Rose away from his sister. Being the eldest son in the family, he had inherited the family farm and here he brought Rose. He knew that Rose was not happy there but he did his best. He turned the loft in the barn into a personal sanctuary for Rose so that his Wife would not harass her.
