Novel Night Book Discussion: The Flower Sisters

Discuss The Flower Sisters  by Michelle Collins Anderson

West Plains, Missouri, this historical novel is based on the real life Bond Dance Hall explosion of 1928 that killed 39. Meet a host of characters who are still dealing with the repercussions of that night — from Rose, an eccentric mortician who lost family in the explosion, to Dash, a fire-and-brimstone preacher who gave his life to God that night and Jimmy, the hero and chief of police. Fast-forward to the 1970s, when Daisy, Rose’s fifteen-year-old hippie granddaughter, comes to town, and bargains her way into a newspaper internship. She discovers the dance hall story, uncovering the secrets and mystery surrounding that night — including those of her own family.
