Title : Moonflowers - Jetta Carleton - book

Summary :

During the first half of the 20th century, Matthew and Callie Soames created a world of their own on their Missouri farm and raised their four daughters, all different but with strong personalities. Jessica broke their hearts by running away at the age of eighteen. Leonie fell in love with the wrong man. Mary Jo broke away from the family cocoon to pursue a career in New York. And the fate of Mathy, the wild child, ended in the most terrible tragedy the family would ever experience.

Throughout the years, the Soames family will love, disappoint, console, deceive, forgive, and sometimes try to escape. But ultimately, they will come to fiercely preserve the bonds of love that hold their family together.

With this romantic chronicle of unexpected twists and turns, imbued with the smells, flavors, and colors of the American heartland, we suddenly discover a little-known masterpiece of contemporary literature.

Born in 1913 in a Missouri village, Jetta Carleton was successively a teacher, an advertising copywriter, and a publishing house director. This exceptional family chronicle, however, constitutes the only literary legacy of this professional writer, who died in 1999 in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
