"An accurate and heart-wrenching picture of the sensibilities of the American South." Kirkus Book Reviews The heart has a home when it has an ally. If Millie Crossan doesn't know anything else, she knows this one truth simply because her brother Finley grew up beside her. Charismatic Finley, eighteen months her senior, becomes Millie's guide when their mother Posey leaves their father and moves her children from Minnesota to Memphis shortly after Millie's tenth birthday. Memphis is a world foreign to Millie and Finley. This is the 1970s Memphis, the genteel world of their mother's upbringing and vastly different from anything they've ever known. Here they are the outsiders. Here, they only have each other. And here, as the years fold over themselves, they mature in a manicured Southern culture where they learn firsthand that much of what glitters isn't gold. Nuance, tradition, and Southern eccentrics flavor Millie and Finley's world as they find their way to belonging. But what hidden variables take their shared history to leave both brother and sister at such disparate ends?
Autorenporträt
Claire Fullerton is the author of the paranormal mystery A Portal in Time and the contemporary fiction Dancing to an Irish Reel, which is set on the west coast of Ireland, where she once lived. An avid journal-keeper, Claire has been writing her entire life, beginning her professional career as a published poet and including her weekly column, "In First Person," with the Malibu Surfside News. A frequent contributor to magazines and online literary journals, her work has appeared in The Dead Mule School of Southern Literature, Celtic Life International, and Southern Writers Magazine, in which two of her short stories have placed in their yearly competition. Drawn to the art of communication in its various manifestations, Claire enjoyed a nine-year, on-air career at four Memphis radio stations before she moved to Los Angeles, where she worked successfully in the music business as an artist and repertoire agent. For eight years, Claire taught ballet and Pilates in three Malibu centers, and she continues to teach privately to this day. She considers herself a proud southerner from Memphis who now lives by the Malibu ocean with her husband, two German shepherds, and one black cat. Mourning Dove is Claire's third novel and her novella, "Through an Autumn Window," appeared in the book The South in All Seasons.
