About this item
Judy Reene Singer's newest novel is a masterful story of the American experience. Between the past and present, between love and war, between the burdens of race and hope, a woman returns home to discover her father and a history she had never known...Rachel Fleischer has good reasons not to be at her father's deathbed. Foaling season is at hand and her horses are becoming restless and difficult. Her critical mother and grasping sister could certainly handle Marty Fleisher's resistance better without her. But Malachi, her eighty-something horse manager - more father to her than Marty has ever been - convinces Rachel she will regret it if she doesn't go.When a stranger at her father's funeral delivers an odd gift and an apology, Rachel finds herself drawn into the epic story of her father's World War II experience, and the friendships, trauma, scandal, and betrayals that would scar the rest of his life - and cast a shadow across the entire family.
About the Author
I was born in Montgomery, Alabama at Maxwell Field Airforce Base at the very same moment there was a major blackout. I think it was a perfect opportunity for aliens to make a swap, and I have been looking for my home planet ever since.
