Carrie Brown (born May 29, 1959) is an American novelist. She is the author of seven novels and a collection of short stories. Her first novel, Rose's Garden won the Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers Award. The New York Times Book Review deemed it "A magical first novel...both luminous and wise," "Rose's garden" is the story of a older man struggling to deal with the loss of his life partner. It is the simple, beautiful story of a life-long love--and how one chooses to go on once that love is torn away. Brown deals with a most difficult subject while pulling us into the lives of these two people and the other colorful characters in the small town where they live.
