Rosenberg’s Colorado Book Tour will unearth fascinating truths and challenging popular beliefs about these legendary women during a series of statewide events.
“For too long, Silver Dollar Tabor has been dismissed by history as a ‘floozy, drunkard, and drug user’,” says Rosenberg. “My novel, Silver Echoes, pulls back the curtain on the real woman: a multifaceted and deeply tragic individual shaped by her extraordinary circumstances, not simply defined by harsh labels.”
Rosenberg’s meticulous research uncovers a different Silver Dollar, suggesting she struggled with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). This groundbreaking reinterpretation transforms a scandalous story into one of profound human resilience and tragedy. Drawing upon extensive research, including Silver Dollar’s personal letters to her mother, Baby Doe Tabor, “Silver Echoes” applies a modern psychological lens to her life. Beyond sensational headlines, the novel uncovers Silver Dollar’s often overlooked talents as a writer, silent movie actress, and burlesque and vaudeville performer from Colorado to Chicago.
