When Patty Blanksy is four years old she accidentally meets the old and reclusive Whitmore siblings, Willard and Letty, who have secluded themselves in the family mansion for decades. Patty is drawn into their world that is rife with stories of early Montana and memories of their time in a hidden Blackfeet Indian village.But life moves on and so does she. Eventually, circumstances lead her back home where she discovers that what she left as a tender young woman can still be discovered as a jaded and shattered adult. Healing comes when she renews her friendship with Genesee Mathers and the pair gallop headlong into adventure.Genesee has her own problems but decides to set aside her fears and misgivings and take the plunge and do something daring.For their friend, Michael Wilder, going back home means confronting the horrors he endured as a teen.Do we ever truly leave our hometowns? We may move on and have glorious or rotten lives elsewhere but those towns where we grew up are always there, in the backwashes of our minds. “Circling back to Danford,” a stand-alone novel, is a sequel to Thacker’s “Montana Legacy.” As usual her trademark humor abounds throughout.
