Everyone in Emlyn Springs knows the story of Hope Jones, the physician's wife whose big dreams for their tiny town were lost along with her in the tornado of 1978. For Hope's three young children, the stability of life with their preoccupied father, and with Viney, their mother's spitfire best friend, is no match for Hope's absence. Larken, the eldest, is now an art history professor who seeks in food an answer to a less tangible hunger; Gaelan, the son, is a telegenic weatherman who devotes his life to predicting the unpredictable; and the youngest, Bonnie, is a self-proclaimed archivist who combs roadsides for clues to her mother's legacy, and permission to move on. When they're summoned home after their father's death, each sibling is forced to revisit the childhood tragedy that has defined their lives. 650 $a Adult children $x Fiction. 650 $a Grief $x Fiction. 650 $a Parents $x Fiction. $x Fiction. 650 $a Domestic fiction. 650 $a All Iowa Reads 2011 941 $a 3 952 $l JHPC815 $d 20150213072756.0 952 $l OEPC877 $d 20110924113938.0 952 $l ESPD725 $d 20110217010618.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D8B3FB3E3A6311E09BD62DC26AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
