Forced to leave her family farm when only a young child, Leandra abandons the bitter memories of growing up on the East Coast and returns to North Carolina. Life begins anew with a past romance and marriage, while she dives head first into the cultural upheaval of the Vietnam War, the civil rights movement, challenges of rural healthcare, and women’s rights. Bolstered by her deep-rooted love for Appalachia and her people, she takes on new roles, some of which she chooses with others thrust upon her.
As the years pass by, more and more secrets are revealed to her, then buried, each one redefining who she has become. At some point she must choose to share these secrets or die with them, and a decision is made that will forever change the Barker family and future generations.
Author bio
Josephine DeFalco loves to tell a good tale. With three adult children and their children, a multitude of pets and wild things in her life, she finds ample material for her stories. A degreed dietitian, she worked in public health and wrote for Arizona Woman Magazine for ten years, before returning to college to become a registered nurse and EMT. She will rescue anything with fur, feathers, or skin as long as it promises not to bite. That includes humans. Jo divides her time between an urban farm in Arizona and a rural farm in Wisconsin, growing much of the food her family eats. This resulted in two books on food preservation which supports her drive to teach others food gardening, health and nutrition. Her Facebook page, BestLittleOrganicFarm, is filled with photos, stories, and information on gardening. Born and raised in Arizona, the southwest desert inspired her first historical novel, The Nightbird’s Song, reflecting on the hardships of the early desert settlers. Her first series includes The Butterfly Bush and The Butterfly’s Secret, revealing her deep respect for the Appalachian families that inspired her stories.
