Cornflower Blue

by Kathy Pratt

Misty Dawn James' journey from Iowa farm girl to California girl is at times a bumpy road. The people she meets in California are much more complicated than those she's left at home. Her Aunt Marigold, an aging flower child, is founder of the "Red HOT Club" for single women over forty. Her friend Jackie's flamboyant personality and appearance frequently get them into embarrassing and tricky situations. Esteban introduces her to Latino culture in California, and Misty is soon won over by the loving and lively atmosphere that surrounds all of the family gatherings he takes her to. When Misty's father dies and she returns to Iowa for his funeral, she is forced to make an extremely difficult decision. Can her relationship with Esteban survive the challenge?
