Caught in the Crossfire: A Name Change, A Facebook Feud, and A Family Tradition in Tatters!
Rosalie’s story is one of a young girl’s struggle for identity amidst a family tradition that felt more like a burden than a legacy. From being named Wilhelmina Rosalie Smith to choosing to be Rosalie Jones, her journey has been marked by conflict, drama, and emotional upheaval.
