Once Upon A Storm takes place in New England during the 1960’s at the time of the antiwar protest and civil rights movement. A hurricane was bearing down on Cape Cod; it was the final night of the four day Jazz and Folk Festival. A girl (Felicity) was found wandering on the beach, naked, injured and disoriented. In the era of Peaceniks, Woodstock and Flower Children, they just figured she had a little too much to drink. A burned out yacht was found drifting in the bay with three bodies on it. The authorities wanted to question Felicity. Only she had left town with Buddy Ames, a black singer who was at the festival. Now the search was on to find her. The police were looking for her along with the brother of the yacht owner, her father, and uncle.
The reader is quickly swept up in this fast paced mystery. They will encounter racial tension, the sexual movement, deceit and betrayal. Each character is well developed. They are easy to relate to. This is one of those special books that needs to be read slowly to savor every single page. Once Upon A Storm is filled with romance, intrigue and mystery.
