Waving Backwards: A Southern Coming-of-Age Mystery
Imagine not knowing who you are, until you find yourself in a statue 800 miles from home. Join intensely passionate and fiercely independent New York college student Lara Bonavito on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery in sigh-worthy Savannah, Georgia.
A Story of Identity and Family Secrets
Adopted into an abusive and impoverished home, Lara's quest to find her roots lands her in the Southern jewel's historic district. A vivid cast of characters help her unravel clues found in a cryptic letter hidden in the family bible for two decades. "The baby's roots are with the Southern lady who waves forever."
Characters and Setting
With the help of mischievously handsome trolley tour guide Robert Taylor, Kipling-quoting florist Abel Bloom, and comically outspoken Louisiana beauty Susan Fletcher, Lara uncovers family secrets wrapped in the mystique of Savannah's Waving Girl statue. The historic Savannah setting provides an atmospheric backdrop for this emotionally charged narrative.
