Drawing on the little-known true story of one tragic night at an Ozarks dance hall in the author\u2019s Missouri hometown, this beautifully written, endearingly nostalgic novel picks up 50 years later for afolksy, character-driven portrayal of small-town life, split second decisions, and the ways family secrets reverberate through generations.<\/p>\n

From the new Fannie Flagg of the Ozarks, a richly-woven story of family, forgiveness, and reinvention for readers of Kristy Woodson Harvey, Donna Everhart, Sue Monk Kidd, Jeannette Walls, and Rita Mae Brown\u2026<\/p>\n

“Anderson weaves a rich and poignant tale of a small Ozarks town’s factual tragedy, its generational secrets and the juxtapose of searching and belonging. Vivid and evocative, this is a debut to savor.” \u2014Kim Michele Richardson,New York Timesbestselling author of The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek series<\/p>\n

Daisy Flowers is fifteen in 1978 when her free-spirited mother dumps her in Possum Flats, Missouri. It\u2019s a town that sounds like roadkill and, in Daisy\u2019s eyes, is every bit as dead. Sentenced to spend the summer living with her grandmother, the wry and irreverent town mortician, Daisy draws the line at working for the family business, Flowers Funeral Home. Instead, she maneuvers her way into an internship at the local newspaper where, sorting through the basement archives, she learns of a mysterious tragedy from fifty years earlier\u2026<\/p>\n

On a sweltering, terrible night in 1928, an explosion at the local dance hall left dozens of young people dead, shocking and scarring a town that still doesn\u2019t know how or why it happened. Listed among the victims is a name that\u2019s surprisingly familiar to Daisy, revealing an irresistible family connection to this long-ago accident.<\/p>\n

Obsessed with investigating the horrors and heroes of that night, Daisy soon discovers Possum Flats holds a multitude of secrets for a small town. And hardly anyone who remembers the tragedy is happy to have some teenaged hippie asking questions about it \u2013 not the fire-and-brimstone preacher who found his calling that tragic night; not the fed-up police chief; not the mayor\u2019s widow or his mistress; not even Daisy\u2019s own grandmother, a woman who\u2019s never been afraid to raise eyebrows in the past, whether it\u2019s for something she\u2019s worn, sworn, or done for a living.<\/p>\n

Some secrets are guarded by the living, while others are kept by the dead, but as buried truths gradually come into the light, they\u2019ll force a reckoning at last.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the true story of the Bond Dance Hall explosion, a tragedy that took place in the author\u2019s hometown of West Plains, Missouri on April 13, 1928.<\/p>\n

The cause of the blast has never been determined.<\/p>\n

\u201cA vivid blend of sensorial writing, historical detail, and memorable characters await in this compelling, surprising, insightful story of the weight of long-held secrets and the resulting hunger for truth.\u201d \u2014Susan Meissner, USA Today bestselling author of Only the Beautiful
