An emotionally riveting tale of the bonds of family and the
power of hope in the sultry Deep South
In 1969,
the first footsteps on the moon brighten America with
possibilities. But along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, a
category five storm is brewing, and the Blake sisters of
Biloxi are restless for change. Beth "Sis" Blake has always
been the caretaker, the dutiful one, with the weight of her
family's happiness—and their secrets—on her
shoulders. She dreams of taking off to pursue her own
destiny, but not before doing whatever it takes to rescue
her sister.
Emily Blake, an unwed mother trying
to live down her past, wants the security of marriage for
the sake of her five-year-old son, Andy. But secure is the
last thing she feels with her new husband. Now she must put
aside pride, and trust family to help her find the courage
to escape.
With Hurricane Camille stirring up
havoc, two sisters—each desperate to break
free—begin a remarkable journey where they'll discover
that in the wake of destruction lies new life, unshakable
strength and the chance to begin again. Dreams are reborn
and the unforgettable force of friendship is revealed in The
Oleander Sisters, an extraordinary story of courage, love
and sacrifice.
