Paperback -In Moth to the Flame, Joy Dettmann returns with another dazzling tale of the unforgettable characters of Woody Creek. The year is 1946. The war ended five months ago. Jim Hooper, Jenny Morrisons only love, was lost to that war. And if not for Jenny, he would never have gone. An eye for an eye, Vern Hooper says. An unforgiving man, Vern wants custody of Jennys son, his only grandson, and is quietly planning his day in court. Then Jennys father, Archie Foote, swoops back into town. Archie offers Jenny a tantalising chance at fame and fortune; one way or another he is determined to play a part in her life. Is Jennys luck about to change, or is she drawn to trouble like a moth is drawn to a flame? |
