Rosamunde: “So Goes The Life In America”This is the fascinating story of a sweet, young girl named Rosamunde who leaves her peaceful Alpine village and comes to New York through Ellis Island and the many hardships and challenges she faces in her new country.

This is the fascinating story of a sweet, young girl named Rosamunde who leaves her peaceful Alpine village and comes to New York through Ellis Island and the many hardships and challenges she faces in her new country. While only a short time here she finds herself, through difficult and heart-breaking circumstances, alone and abandoned on the streets of Manhattan with little knowledge of the English language. When she seeks refuge in a church, a kindly, old priest helps her to find her way in life. She marries, has a child and life is good but in a few years she finds herself struggling to keep a disastrous marriage together. When the tragic death of a loved one occurs, she holds an eerie Wake in her home. The aftermath of strange, unexplainable circumstances that arise take their toll on her already fragile nerves yet her mysterious attachment to the supernatural and a brief rest in a sanatorium, where she incredibly encounters the unexpected, help her to survive. She regains her strength during a visit back to her homeland but on her return to America she is involved in a near ocean liner catastrophe. Home again, she finally finds her niche of happiness but tragedy does not elude her for long when she receives an envelope with a black border around it. Yet she remains stoic and relies on her supernatural gift. “So goes the life in America” was her favorite expression whenever anything happened, either good or bad. Only a few words but it sums up an extraordinary lifetime that Rosamunde would like to share with you.

About the Author

Catherine Sterzer Knett was born in Brooklyn, NY and lived most of her life in Queens County, NY before moving to Virginia in 2016. Her parents emigrated from Europe and she is First Generation American of German and Slovak descent. Having travelled to Europe several times, she is fairly bi-lingual and attended Bishop McDonnell Memorial, a prestigious school. Writing was always her passion and she enjoyed writing little short stories. Inspired by her father whom she adored, she decided to write a “longer short story” as she put it and thus “Rosamunde” was born. “So goes the life in America” (“So geht das Leben in Amerika”) was a favorite expression of her father and she has given it to Rosamunde as well. Papa would be pleased.

Good Plug
Purchased this from Amazon for convenience and it arrived quickly so I was satisfied. If I order the oil and filter for mower at the same time it saves me time and I have them delivered to my door for the mower tune up.

This card is awesome!
Style: Prime Visa
I’ve been using the Chase Prime Visa card for over a year, and it’s become one of my favorite credit cards, especially for anyone who regularly shops on Amazon or Whole Foods. Here’s my personal take based on firsthand experience: ### Pros: 1. **Generous Cashback on Amazon/Whole Foods Purchases**: The card offers 5% cashback on Amazon.com and Whole Foods purchases if you're a Prime member. Since I do a lot of online shopping and grocery runs there, the cashback adds up quickly. Every couple of months, I have enough cashback points to significantly reduce my bill, which is super satisfying. 2. **Solid Rewards for Everyday Spending**: Besides Amazon and Whole Foods, the card gives 2% cashback on restaurant, gas station, and drugstore purchases. I find this feature great since I often fuel up and grab meals on the go, and it's nice knowing I’m getting something back on those purchases. 3. **No Annual Fee (with Prime)**: Since I’m already paying for Amazon Prime, having no additional fee for the card is a bonus. It's like getting extra perks from Prime without paying more. 4. **Redeemable Points**: I love that the cashback can be used directly on Amazon for purchases, but I usually save my points to cover larger purchases or statement credits. 5. **Travel Perks**: While I haven’t used it extensively, the card does offer some decent travel benefits like no foreign transaction fees and access to some travel protections, which can be useful for international travel. ### Cons: 1. **Requires Amazon Prime Membership**: The biggest downside is that the card is only valuable if you're already an Amazon Prime member, which costs around $139 a year. If you’re not a frequent Amazon shopper, the perks might not justify having the card. 2. **Limited Categories for High Cashback**: Outside of Amazon and Whole Foods, the cashback categories aren’t as high (2% for gas, restaurants, etc.), so if you're looking for a broader range of high-reward categories, this card might feel limited. 3. **Amazon-Heavy Focus**: While I enjoy the Amazon-focused rewards, someone who doesn’t shop there often might find the card’s benefits less compelling. If you’re looking for more flexibility in redeeming points for travel, the Chase Sapphire line might be better suited. ### Overall Verdict: If you’re an Amazon Prime member and do a lot of shopping on Amazon or at Whole Foods, this card is a no-brainer. The cashback rewards are generous, especially compared to other cards. However, if you’re not an Amazon or Whole Foods shopper, there are probably better options with broader rewards categories. For me, the Chase Prime Visa has been a great addition to my wallet, primarily for its ability to consistently give me back a portion of what I’m already spending.
