SALLY'S BLURB: Sally's dreams to study art in the city are ruined when a tornado hits the Missouri countryside. Her parents force her to marry the farmer whom she hid in the root cellar with. His name is Jeremiah and he is the definition of simple. She tries to adjust to married life only to face more disaster - the murder of a dear friend and the realization that no one in White Oaks is who they seem. As more truths are uncovered, something changes inside of Sally. She begins to think of herself as something more than her current station in life - and those who stand in her way will see the full capacity of her cruelty.
MY REVIEW
Okay ladies and gentlemen... This book is arguably the best book I've read this past year. From the beginning, you're enthralled with this twister of a story. A young dreamer heroine gets her life flipped COMPLETELY upside down following what most would consider to be an inconvenient natural disaster. But for Sally, that natural disaster sealed her fate - and the fate of many others surrounding her. In this gripping tale, you will never see what's coming next. Set in a small town in a time mostly forgotten, author Sara Flower Kjeldsen nails the coffin with her vivid imagery, accurate depictions of the views at the time, and complex characters. Normally, I would shy away from tales like this as it's not my preferred genre - but once I began reading I was unable to stop. The ending was wrapped up extremely well, leaving you on a cliffhanger that makes you beg for more. No page was wasted in the making of this story, you hang on to every word written. This is truly a masterpiece, and a novel that everyone should read. It will make you ponder about your own morality, make you understand vengeance in a whole new light, and show you the butterfly effect in its rawest form.
