The Sunflower Girls Club is a story about first connections and how they are forever etched in our memories. It's about friendships that fill in the voids left by families. It's also about searching for truth, grieving losses, and letting go. Carly Beck seems to have it all. What she doesn't have is the slightest inkling how to live the rest of her life. At forty-eight, she can no longer ignore a troubled marriage, the death of a son ten years earlier, and an unresolved relationship with her mother. Not one, but two therapists become integral parts of her life: one who is treating her as a patient and takes her to her past, and the other who wants to be part of her future Carly's life becomes increasingly complicated after the death of a childhood friend draws her back to her Kansas hometown. To uncover the truth of Barbara's death, Carly attempts to entrap the most prominent surgeon in town. Dr. Martin Blaymore is gorgeous, charming -- and possibly a rapist. Returning to her hometown, Carly reconnects with the two other Sunflower Girls: Marla Hamlin, a lesbian professor at a women's college, who looks like Julia Roberts with the personality of Howard Stern; and Marydell Doss Bower, a family court judge in Savannah, Georgia, who survived a chaotic childhood to be successful in both work and love. There's also Carly's mother, Lanell Connor. Lanell lives in the town's only twenty-room Victorian mansion, which she keeps as cold and closed off as her relationship with her daughter. The Sunflower Girls Club is a book with a true voice -- the unraveling of a woman's life with both healing and humor.

Billye Robbins is a first-time novelist. She wrote The Sunflower Girls Club in the late 1990's, and tucked it away. She brought it out again after she moved back to Kansas, and after the sudden death of her beloved husband, Russ. He always encouraged and inspired her during their forty-one years of marriage. He wanted her to publish this book! Billye spent years in the fitness industry, and also as an actress and director. She is the mother of three children, and "Grandmama" to six grandchildren. She also is a somewhat overwhelmed pet parent of five dogs. Billye was born in Independence, Kansas. She attended the local junior college and Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas. She spent her married life near Boston, Massachusetts. Although she misses the East, she's happy to reconnect with her Kansas roots.
