June of the Corn Huskers Ball is a contemporary mystery romance, spanning many generations and continents, and drawing the reader into a world of espionage, hidden secrets, and passionate love. This description may be from another edition of this product.
It was a great suspense filled historical, mystery, romance filled with intrigue and espionage. I love how the book centered around the main character June "June Bug" Horton and a journey of several decades and three generations of hidden family secrets. The characters were multi-faceted, all intertwining with one another to uncover the mysteries of the past set against the backdrop of southern charm, money, greed and Magnolia trees. It is one of the best books I have read in a long time. Christina Ruotolo Auhtor, The Butterfly Net

It's hard to write a comment without giving the story away, but the poetic flow to the story is enchanting. A good read. I would reccommend it to anyone who likes to curl up in front of the fireplace with a glass of wine...
June Deserves the Best...

This book was nominated for the Noble (Not Nobel) Prize I give each January. I was reluctant to pass on it because it is such a delightful and poetic portrait of one June, the book's protagonist. All contests put forth parameters for the judging and this book, didn't quite fit within those guidelines. Still, it is a deserving book, one I hope many--especially young women--will explore. ---- Carolyn Howard-Johnson, award-winning author of "This Is the Place," "Harkening," and "Tracings"

I enjoyed this book so much!!! A historical saga about Southern life at several strata of society, it was fast-paced with rich, complex characterizations. Moving from genteel Virginia, to Deep South Georgia, from the "Lily White" to "Bougie Black," "June of the Corn Huskers Ball" showed how Southerners lives run parallel to run another; and what happens when they intertwine! It's a TRUE Southern novel. And it's got a WWII murder mystery! Good stuff!! I can't wait for the next B.K. Mitchell release!
