The Daisy Farm

Tracy Boussard sits on a balcony surrounded by trees and the soft sounds of the beginning of a new day. She is thinking about her childhood, which was, for the most part, filled with love. Her parents adored her and each other. When the family moved from Houston, Texas, to the idyllic coastal town of Darien, Connecticut, they carried that love and their happiness with them. Why would anything change?

This new place was one of beaches, boats, winding lanes and pretty people. Tracy remembers herself as being a not-so-pretty girl, but she was smart, curious and observant. What she couldn't yet see or understand was the impact even the best of places can have on people.

In this novel, a child's memories meld with the thoughts of an older woman who may still be unable to see the truth of what happened to a happy family in a lovely place.
