Towers of Somers: Flawed Majesty

Set on the shores of idyllic Flathead Lake in Somers, Montana, during the Great Depression era, Towers of Somers: Flawed Majesty is about Sam Sanders-a unusually smart, bold young Montanan who wants nothing more than to go to college, even if that means leaving his girl Micki behind. But he's coming of age during a time of crushing hardship, and as his family faces losing everything, his college dreams seem increasingly unrealistic. Sam, however, is undaunted, remaining determined to succeed despite everything. His is not the only dream to falter in the terrible economic collapse of the early twentieth century. As pressure mounts on the Sanders family, life begins to unravel, and devastating secrets propel them down a dangerous path, threatening to sever the ties that bind them together. A novel in the classic American style, Towers of Somers: Flawed Majesty echoes the hope, resilience, and triumphs of the silent generation, who lost almost everything except each other.
