When human bones are discovered on the grounds of the old
Starlite Drive-in, only Callie Anne Benton knows the identity of
the victim who mysteriously disappeared thirty-six years ago.
It's the sweltering summer of 1956 when a handsome drifter named
Charlie Memphis arrives at the Starlite to help Callie Anne's
injured father run the theater. Both she and her mother, Teal, fall
for Memphis's rugged style and gentlemanly manners, but Callie
Anne's father--bitter in his role as caretaker for the rural
drive-in and his agoraphobic wife--doesn't like the drifter's
increasing interest in Teal.
A disastrous turn of events changes their lives forever, and
it's up to the grown-up Callie Anne to unlock the secret of the
decades-old mystery.
Told through the voice of Callie Anne, a whip-smart tomboy
reminiscent of Scout Finch, The Starlite Drive-in is a vivid
snapshot of 1950s America. A compelling novel infused with hope,
tragedy, and suspense, Callie Anne's story will strike a chord with
readers both young and old.
