Margaret Beaver is pleased to announce her latest Young Adult novel, Flowers for Papa, is releasing November 28, 2024. This poignant coming-of-age story explores themes of family estrangement, grief, healing, and the rediscovery of love. Published by Vanguard Press, an imprint of Pegasus Elliot MacKenzie Publishers, Flowers for Papa is already receiving rave reviews from readers and reviewers.
August Johnson’s childhood was filled with quiet moments—many of them spent in his favorite penguin pajamas—until tragedy struck after his sixth birthday, with the sudden death of one of his fathers. At just twelve years old, August is sent away to live with his Great Aunt Myrtle, severing ties with his surviving father. For six years, he buries his memories and the pain of his loss.
But when an unmarked letter arrives, everything changes. August learns his father is gravely ill and requesting to see him. Setting out on an emotional journey back home, August faces the ghosts of his past, unravels the mystery surrounding his father's death, and begins the slow, complicated process of reconciliation. With the help of a spirited passenger, August confronts the buried truths of his childhood in a heartfelt exploration of love, forgiveness, and healing.
Flowers for Papa reminds us that the journey toward healing often starts by confronting the past and finding our way back to those we love.
