Jennie O'Malley may seem like she has it all together, but her orderly and stylish life in Florence starts to fall apart when she is unexpectedly called home to Monterey, California to say her final goodbyes to her beloved father, Shaun. A warm and charismatic innkeeper and pub proprietor, Shaun has left Jennie not only the family business, but also shoes that Jennie fears she can never fill. On top of that, long-hidden family secrets slowly emerge, leaving Jennie questioning her relationship with her father, her ancestry, her future, and even the core of who she thinks she is. Thankfully, a loyal family friend, a handsome academic, and a mysterious and intriguing voice from the past are there to guide her on her journey. Along the way, Jennie discovers that unlocking a door to the past can open up a pathway to learning, loving, and letting go. Combining engaging characters with meticulously curated historical detail, Sisters in the Cornfield weaves a cross-generational narrative, interlacing the history of Native peoples in California, questions of cultural belonging, and the strength of familial bond.
