Please join us for a meet and greet with local author Michelle Collins as she shares with us about her debut novel!
THE FLOWER SISTERS, forthcoming from Kensington April 23, 2024! Set in West Plains, Missouri, this historical novel is based on the real life Bond Dance Hall explosion of 1928 that killed 39. Meet a host of characters who are still dealing with the repercussions of that night — from Rose, an eccentric mortician who lost her twin in the explosion, to Dash, a fire-and-brimstone preacher who gave his life to God that night and Jimmy, the hero and chief of police. Fast-forward to the 1970s, when Daisy, Rose’s fifteen-year-old hippie granddaughter, comes to town, and bargains her way into a newspaper internship. She discovers the dance hall story, uncovering the secrets and mystery surrounding that night — including those of her own family. No one and nothing in this small town are who/what they seem to be!
