Dogwood Blues by Brenda Sutton Rose

Filled with humor and heartbreak, the story is centered around life in a small town near the Alapaha River in rural Georgia, a place struggling with change. When Kevin Kilmer, award-winning New York author, moves back to Dogwood's historic district to write his memoir, he crashes headfirst into his heartbreaking past. Boone Marshall, a farmer and blues pianist, stirs gossip when, mere months after the suicide of his first wife, he brings home a new bride, a nightclub singer from New Orleans. Every week, the women of the Honeysuckle Bridge Club gather to play cards, share gossip, and argue about local issues, particularly the upcoming liquor referendum, a vote that threatens to turn dry Creek County wet. And Nell Sauls is never up to any good. She loves nothing better than to drop gossip as messy as bird poop from one end of the town to the other.

Brimming with opinionated and irreverent characters, and told with the mournful sound of the blues, DOGWOOD BLUES is a story of betrayal, forgiveness, and redemption.
