An unexpected treasure: A long-lost novel of innocence
threatened, by the author of the beloved classic The Moonflower
Vine
The time: 1941, at the cusp of America's entry into World War
II. The place: southwest Missouri, on the edge of the Ozark
Mountains. A young single woman named Allen Liles has taken a job
as a junior college teacher in a small town, although she dreams of
living in New York City, of dancing at recitals, of absorbing the
bohemian delights of the Village. Then she encounters two young
men: George, a lanky, carefree spirit, and Toby, a dark-haired,
searching soul with a wary look in his eyes. Soon the three strike
up an after-school friendship, bantering and debating over letters,
ethics, and philosophy--innocently at first, but soon in giddy
flirtation--until Allen and one of the young men push things too
far, and the quiet happiness she has struggled so hard to discover
is thrown into jeopardy.
