NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • READ WITH JENNA BOOK CLUB PICK AS FEATURED ON TODAY • Hailed as “an American epic” (NPR) this captivating story weaves the intimate lives of two midwestern families across generations from World War II to the late twentieth century. “I love this book with my entire heart.”—Ann Napolitano New York Times bestselling author of Hello Beautiful One town. Two families. A secret that changes everything. In Bonhomie Ohio a stolen moment of passion sparked in the exuberant aftermath of the Allied victory in Europe binds Cal Jenkins a man wounded not in war but by his inability to serve in it to Margaret Salt a woman trying to obscure her past. Cal’s wife Becky has a spiritual gift: She is a seer who can conjure the dead helping families connect with those they’ve lost. Margaret’s husband Felix is serving on a Navy cargo ship out of harm’s way—until a telegram suggests that the unthinkable might have happened. Later as the country reconstructs in the postwar boom a secret grows in Bonhomie—but nothing stays buried forever in a small town. Against the backdrop of some of the most transformative decades in modern America the consequences of that long-ago encounter ripple through the next generation of both families compelling them to reexamine who they thought they were and what the future might hold. Sweeping yet intimate rich with piercing observation and the warmth that comes from profound understanding of the human spirit Buckeye captures the universal longing for love and for goodness.
