    by Frank J. Esposito (Author)

    Written by an acclaimed historian and committee of local experts, this book takes readers on an extraordinary journey into the heart of community, connection, resilience, and reinvention. It seamlessly weaves meticulous research and photos, with compelling storytelling to bring to life the exceptional community of Madison, New Jersey. Portrait of the Rose City offers a fascinating account into how a community can grow from humble beginnings to play an integral role in some of the most important moments in this country's history and to serve as a role model for small towns everywhere. Throughout its long history, Madison has navigated challenges that have tested communities nationwide: wars, civil unrest and social inequity, pandemics, industrial and technological revolutions. Unlike many towns that faltered under such pressures, Madison thrived, emerging stronger each time. The secret to Madison's success lies in its tradition of civic cooperation, mutual respect, and effective leadership, providing a model for other communities seeking sustainable growth and to not just survive, but to thrive. What is truly amazing about Madison is the belief of its residents that people working together can accomplish virtually anything. Welcome to Madison, New Jersey.

Daphne Kalotay, author of Russian Winter and The Archivists and Madison native.

    "I would recommend this book to Madison residents who want to become more aware of the borough's history. Portrait of the Rose City not only provides interesting historical details, it also attempts to place them in a larger context." - David Hanna, author of History Nation and Broken Icarus
