History is often told by the victors—the powerful, the men. But in the shadows of Rosemont Cemetery lies another history, one seldom spoken aloud. Ladies of Rosemont dares to ask: “What would these women say if they could rise and speak again?”
Written by local favorite and Newberry native, Sue Summer, this collection of monologues summons the voices of Newberry County’s foremothers—women whose lives were marked by love and loss, triumph and tragedy, sacrifice and scandal. On quiet nights, if you walk past Rosemont, you might swear you hear them whispering… telling the stories that built a community and shaped its soul for more than 150 years.
These tales, though fictional, are steeped in truth. The names have been changed—some to shield the innocent, others to guard the guilty—but their essence endures. Through their strength, wit, and hard-won wisdom, the Ladies of Rosemont helped carve Newberry County into what locals fondly call “The Center of the Universe.
