They survived the war. Surviving the peace would take a miracle.

Set against the backdrop of postwar America from 1945 to 1947, The Flowers in May draws on actual excerpts from the Official Daily War Diaries of the Twelfth Army Air Force to explore what happened to the soldiers the victory parades forgot. When battle fatigue, drinking, and pride push Tom Hart from Louisville to Texas and finally toward homelessness in the Kentucky snow, his family must choose between loyalty and survival. With unflinching honesty and surprising humor, the novel asks whether faith and mercy can reach a man who believes himself beyond redemption. This is WWII historical fiction rooted in real family history and real human cost.

Delicately weaving humor and heartache, The Flowers in May is a story about the wars we fight in the dark, the grace that finds us when we least deserve it, and the fragile, stubborn miracle of beginning again.
