Romance Historical

It’s the roaring twenties in San Francisco, a decade famous for hot jazz and bath tub gin.

Violet (The Guyer Girls) has grown into a beautiful woman with children of her own. She has left her small home town in the Pacific Northwest to pursue a successful basketball career and with her earnings, she bought a bar and grill. She is a ‘flapper’ in every sense of the word; working all day and playing all night. While her teenage daughter raises her seven year old son, Violet is out on the town with her latest man de’jour. Dressed in her signature red dress, she is the toast of the town and owner of a speakeasy where she hosts the cream of San Francisco’s society, city politicians, bishops, and Hollywood celebrities.

But there is an underbelly of corruption, grifters, the mob, excess, and neglect in Violet’s life. Her two children are an afterthought and she chooses her men over their well being time and time again. Their childhood needs are always trumped by her self-indulgent desires. The two children are possessions that she can put down or pick up again on a whim, showing them off to her current beau or friends and then forgotten. And when they get in her way, she gets rid of them.

Re: Wild Violets

This is such an interesting book, yet it's sad. The main thing is that you're reunited, although fractured as a family. If I were to ever write a book about my childhood, people wouldn't believe it actually happened. My Sisters and I remained fairly close throughout life, but after my Mother passed away, our family fell apart. My Dad is still alive, but has done nothing to keep us together as a family. Now he's in bad health and my Sister put him in a nursing home. That's another story. Anyway, I am putting your book on my TBR list, and I'm sure that I'll be able to relate to your story on some capacity.

Trisha, Your book cover caught my attention first, then I read what the story was about. Shock, then sadness, but a story that will hold my attention and worthy enough for my book club friends to read and discuss. It amazes me the strength that people have to endure such bad beginnings.
This is a must read for me.

You don't sound like a left over to me.
Keep writing! Love the title.....
