Sobre este áudio
In a powerful and poignant novel, an artist unravels her mysterious family history and its generations of women who depended on each other to survive.
Tig Costello has arrived in Darren, Kentucky, commissioned to paint a portrait honoring her grandfather Benjamin. His contributions to the rural Appalachian town and his unimpeachable war service have made him a local hero. But to Tig, he’s a relative stranger. To find out more about him, Tig wants to talk to the person who knew her grandfather best: Eloise Price, the woman who murdered him fifty years ago.
Still confined to a state institution, Eloise has a lifetime of stories to tell. She agrees to share them all—about herself, about Tig’s enigmatic grandmother, and about the other brave and desperate women who passed through Benjamin’s orbit. Most revealing of all is the truth about Whitmore Halls, the mansion on the hill that was home to triage, rescue, death, and one inevitable day that changed Eloise’s life forever.
As Tig begins to piece together the puzzle of her mysterious family tree, it sends her spiraling toward a confrontation with her own painful past—and a reconciliation with all its heartrending secrets.

Moore, author of Between Panic & Desire
“Through its powerful braid of weaving together women’s voices across generations, The Moonflowers shows us that the past is always present, that buried secrets will find their light, and that hope lies in the fierce collective of showing up for one another when all else fails. In this compelling debut novel, Abigail Rose-Marie has offered us an absolute gift of a book that is as moving as it is necessary for our current times.”—Anne Valente, author of Our Hearts Will Burn Us Down
“When the young Michigan artist Antigone Costello receives an invitation to small-town Kentucky to paint a portrait celebrating her grandfather, she finds a region haunted by the past.
