Twenty year old Poppy Sadler lives in Coal Town, the poor
section across the river from Caulfield where the upper
crust of society lives. Her mother, Helen, is dying of
cancer and unknown to her, her father Jessup has lost his
job. Moments after receiving the call that her mother has
passed, she learns that her father has been retrieved from
the river and his body contains 3 bullets. Mike Amblin, a
local cop, has been the bearer of the horrendous news.
Poppy's older brother, Johnny, is an on the road driver
trying to evade the decline of his mother, leaving Poppy to
face this alone at first.
As the murder unfolds Poppy finds her biological father is
the rich Justin Caulfield who has a 14 year old daughter
dying of cancer. Callie survives the cancer only to have
failing kidneys with need of a transplant. What will this
small town think of the paternity scandal? Will Poppy be
able to help the sister she never knew she had? Does the
murder of the man she always knew as her father have
anything to do with the mess that has fallen into Poppy's
lap. So much mystery for one small town to handle.
This most memorable and nostalgic story of deceit and lies
within two families rips innocent parties apart and leaves
them searching for complete honesty and truth. Learning to
deal with the lies of the past gives them resolve to be
straight forward and open with those they
love. There is extreme depth to A FIELD OF POPPIES that
makes it impossible to summarize. I can promise that this
novel will stick in your mind for years to come. A
wonderful story of forgiveness and strength of a young
woman!
