A coming of age novel about three sisters and a beautiful town in the Missouri Ozarks, (on the map in the author's mind, somewhere near Sainte Genevieve, near the Mississippi River but sheltered by the Ozarks.) "Sainte Lillian's Missouri" embraces the years 1942-1957. As America joins the allies in World War Two, change begins to creep into a pastoral way of life. Aftermath of the war shows a world, a country, a small town and a family face to face with a new world order. White superiority and black servitude were established and comfortable roles in mid-America and the South until the end of the war. Returning servicemen, both black and white brought new ideas home. Suddenly, equality and freedom were no longer words in history books. Spilled blood had changed lives forever. How the little town of Sainte Lillian's, Missouri, and three sisters face these challenges is the heart of the story and, a story that warms the heart. The character, Sainte Lillian, the town of Sainte Lillian's and all its people are a work of fiction. and as such are a blending of personalities and places encountered by the author; and, in no way resemble anyone living or dead.
