A grand emotional journey that exudes warmth and hope.
The dawn of the 1920s has ascended and change is in the air. The devastating effects of the 1918 influenza have begun to subside and the Great War has ended. Lou can’t imagine her life as a vapid socialite or a family woman, so she makes a bold move and takes a job and an apartment of her own with the loose goal of following her dream—to become a writer. Holden is back from the war, but is plagued by the cruelty and brutality he sees every night in his dreams. Known to be standoffish and cool, Holden manages to form a tender and unexpected relationship with Lou. For the first time in her life Lou feels like a part of a caring family, reveling in the joys and triumphs while pursuing her passions. But even the closest family bonds are tested when tragedy strikes this hardworking family, testing their resolve and pushing the boundaries of love and forgiveness.
All The Yellow Posies is a grand emotional journey that exudes warmth and hope. Elaine DeBohun wields the pen like a knife, slicing deep into the heart with such a poignant story about love, loss, and ultimately the lines connecting everything together. Chemistry is undeniable between young Lou and war-worn Holden, particularly in the way Lou is able to tease out the gentler parts of his character. Though it is a period piece, there is a surreal shine to the story as it parallels so many peculiar nuances of our current times. Like a delicate butterfly, grief and sorrow transform into hope and possibility in All The Yellow Posies.
