Sainte Lillian's Missouri

A coming of age novel about three sisters and a
beautiful town in the Missouri Ozarks,
(on the map in the author's mind, somewhere near Sainte Genevieve, near
the Mississippi River but sheltered by the Ozarks.) "Sainte Lillian's Missouri" embraces the years 1942-1957.

As America joins the allies in World War Two, change
begins to creep into a pastoral way of life.
Aftermath of the war shows a world, a country, a small town and a family
face to face with a new world order.

White superiority and black servitude were
established and comfortable roles in mid-America and the South until the end of
the war. Returning servicemen, both black and white brought new ideas home.
Suddenly, equality and freedom were no longer words in history books. Spilled
blood had changed lives forever.

How the little town of Sainte Lillian's, Missouri,
and three sisters face these challenges is the heart of the story and, a story
that warms the heart.

The character, Sainte Lillian, the town of Sainte
Lillian's and all its people are a work of fiction. and as such are a blending
of personalities and places encountered by the author; and, in no way resemble
anyone living or dead.
