A book depicting the heartfelt and motivational account of a woman’s journey to live the dream in the Florida Keys will launch Tuesday, Oct. 8.

Islamorada author Madeline A. Rousseau’s book launch of “Struggled to Sold” will be held at the Islamorada library from 5 to 7 p.m. Rousseau’s story is a beacon of hope and a guide for anyone looking to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. She’s built a career on a simple, yet powerful philosophy of helping others through her work. Rousseau overcame challenges to build and sell a thriving real estate brokerage in five years.

With Rousseau’s new book, she seeks to inspire others to elevate and embrace the possibilities that come with hard work, resilience, determination and the power of dreams. 

“I want to share & show how I was able to overcome life’s obstacles because going through life’s challenges often resembles an unpredictable journey in real estate. It’s essential to view failures as stepping stones to success,” Rousseau said.

Rousseau will speak during her book launch and signing at 5:30 p.m. Refreshments will be provided courtesy of Harbor Cafe. There will also be door prizes and a drawing to win a special art piece donated by local visual artist Marcia Brito. Attendees must provide a donation to enter the drawing. Brito’s work will also be on display during the event. 

Books can be pre-purchased online at authormadelinerousseau.com or at Barnes & Noble. Rousseau’s books will also be available for purchase on Oct. 8 at the Islamorada library.
