Synopsis

From Book :

Book club fiction at it's finest as Kathleen Rodgers' novel reaches new heights, and hopefully new audiences, in this marvelous story of a group of girls in northeast New Mexico. Here is regional fiction aspiring for a broader market!

In the small New Mexico town of Sandhill, five girls form a secret club and dream of the ocean. When betrayal and broken promises threaten to tear them apart, one of the girls, a talented flutist named Melody Calloway, meets a tragic and mysterious end. Forty years later her best friend, Marigold Hubbard, returns to Sandhill ready to write Melody’s story. An envelope of old letters and a cryptic message in an abandoned church leads Marigold on a quest to find answers about what really happened to Melody. Emboldened by decades of unresolved anger and a belief in the power of books, Marigold must confront her elderly father about the affair he had with Melody’s mother and how his betrayal could be linked to the tragic chain of events that led to Melody’s death.
