THE ROLLER HOME
A story about joy, courage and doing what makes you happy!
I built a roller rink in my basement to find my way back to the girl I had left behind.
What began as a room filled with music, movement, and light became something much bigger: a doorway back to joy.
Then that healing became a children’s book.

A real roller rink. A return to joy.
I became a mother at fifteen.
And for the next thirty-two years, survival came first.
The girl I had been—the creative one, the playful one, the one who wanted music and movement and color—did not disappear.
She waited.
Then, decades later, I built a roller rink in my basement.
At first, I thought I was just creating a fun room.
But somewhere between the disco ball, the music, and the first lap around that floor, I realized I had built a way back to her.
The Roller Home is the story that came through when we finally found each other again.
“I thought I was building a roller rink. I was building my way back to the girl who had been waiting for me.”
Real Readers. Real Joy. Real Impact.
Thank you for making Roller Home a part of your story. Nothing means more than hearing how this book has touched your heart and the hearts of the little ones you love.

"She has been skating around our basement ever since we read it 😊"
My daughter loved it – she was so impressed that I knew you “in real life” ❤️❤️ And she had been skating around our basement ever since we read it 😊

“An absolute a delight to read!! ”
I want to now clean out my basement and build my craft studio, that was always my dream. This book is definitely an inspiration to anyone who reads it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. The Rollerdome in Endwell New York was truly the best place to be on a Friday or Saturday night!!!!

"It made me realize that I need to break out my skates again; that might just be the exact missing piece I’ve been needing."
I received your book as a gift I, too, grew up at the Rollerdome and I have so, so much to say about your book. It is absolutely amazing and had me in tears.

"I love so much about this. 💛"
There’s something incredibly powerful about creating something tangible from the life you’ve chosen for yourself. Not just a book, but evidence of what can happen when healing, joy, and possibility are given room to become real.
I had the pleasure of being in a class with... and having Diana Salvemini in one of my MasterClasses, and I’m so happy to see this beautiful next chapter making its way into the world.
Congratulations, Diana. What a lovely thing to witness. ✨
