The Flower Sisters is a debut novel centered around a true tragic event in an Ozarks dance hall in1938. This event happened in West Plains, Missouri, the author's hometown. To this day, much mystery surrounds this tragedy.
The novel has a dual timeline spanning from 1938 to 1978. I found the characters especially, Daisy, to be complicated and fascinating. All is not what it appears to be in this novel. There are many secrets, a mystery to be solved, a beautiful setting, and the unpredictable lives of the characters. There is much to think about in this novel.
