Author Description

And Violet Is a Flower For anyone who’s ever loved a child, or a mother… A story of love, betrayal, forgiveness, and redemption. In the mid-1960s, a series of tragic events and a violent argument send twenty-year-old Violet and her mother, Lily, on separate odysseys of pain and discovery. A psychiatric hospital and a fragile mind, a music career held together by amphetamines, a death that is not what it seems. But through the triumph and tribulation, through the joy and regret, irrevocably entwined lives live on in longing separation. Will old mistakes destroy the mother and daughter bond forever, or can they conquer their troubled past? Adult themes, light cursing, no graphic sex. One scene of adultery; three suicide attempts, one graphic act of violence: the mutilation killing of a drug pusher. The main characters are Christian, and the book has religious content.
