Three women and two girls face political, racial and personal bombshells during the tension-filled days of the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.

Flossie Johnson is a housekeeper who wants to sit in the front of the bus instead of the back on the way to her new job at the Adams house.

Six-year-old Birdie Adams wants to run away and join the circus but guesses she’ll have to go to the first grade and hang around with her new baby brother instead. Maybe her big sister needs a little help, too. The circus will have to wait.

Twelve-year-old Melanie Adams wants her friend to stop bugging her to get her first kiss. Melanie’s already had her first kiss, but won’t spoil the special secret by talking about it.

Norah Adams is a good mother and wife who wants to keep her family safe and happy, but tucking the order form for dogtags in her daughters’ lunch boxes is a big change from the everyday bologna sandwiches.

Lola Carter wants the life her sister, Norah, has. Instead she has a factory job, an alcohol and prescription drug addiction, and an abusive boyfriend.

Even if President Kennedy prevents World War III, these women’s lives will be changed forever.

5,0 su 5 stelle Underrated, more people should know about it.

I adore this book so much that I’ve read it a dozen or so times now.
I think this is so important to read just to gain some perspective on how things were and how different people perceived them.
Absolutely wonderful, will continue to read and reread this book until my eyes fall out.

5,0 su 5 stelle Wow! Bombshells has exploded!

Emotions, situations, maturation, history and a good story to be told grace the pages of this novel. Each character carries the book though their own personal reflections and "growing". From the first narrative, you are hooked with "the need to know". T. Elliot Brown craftily weaves the unsettled time of the sixties, particulary the Cuban Missile Crisis, into the ever universal story of people. There is an identifying moment in this book for everyone.
All topics, even the sensitive ones are handled with taste and good description to let your mind do the imagining.

You will love the southern family that it follows. They have all the requisite normalities and dysfunctions to keep life hopping.

I am a child of the sixties, so many scenarios brought back lots of memories.
I am an avid reader and loved this book.
I am encouraging you to check out the website Bombshellsbook.com with so many goodies on it related to the book.
I am recommending you download your copy...right now!

An extremely well written, enjoyable story told alternately through the eyes of Norah, Mellie, Birdie, Flossie and Lola, showing people trying to get on with their daily lives in the shadow of the Cuban Missile Crisis. The story is set in Florida and the family lives very close to a military base and has friends in the armed forces, so the threat is all too real and although, on the whole, the story has a light hearted tone it really demonstrates the escalating fear that hangs over them with daily real life dramas taking a back seat every day when the TV news comes on and people gather around the TV set.

Norah has her daughters, husband and a new baby to care for; Mellie is 12 years old and just entering puberty and high school; Birdie is six and just starting school; Flossie is their housekeeper who battles prejudice on a daily basis; Lola is Norah's sister who has a carefree lifestyle but it doesn't make her happy. We see all their daily dramas unfold in a nice flowing way throughout the book which immediately grips you and keeps you turning the page to see what is going to happen next.

Highly recommended.

I wish the book was longer, I would love to revisit these characters.

Mellie - My favorite character - 12 year old girl coming of age during this turbulent time. She is a thoughtful sweet girl, dealing with starting Junior High, starting her period, helping her mom with a new baby. Starting to find out how disillusioning life can be.

Flossie - The African American woman that comes and works as a maid for Mellie's Mom - I LOVED her - my 2nd favorite character. In some ways she reminded me of the lead from the Help, the way she thought about the ladies she worked for. She is very wise and I love how her relationship develops with the family.

Norah - The mother dealing with a pre teen and pregnancy along with a 6 year old, and how to keep everyone safe. I really felt for her as she struggled to find control where there was none, and then to watch her deal with depression after the baby the just wasn't diagnosed back then.

Birdie - The six year old sister and seeing these events through her eyes was disarming and interesting.

Lola - Norah's sister, and a very sad character.

I loved the book,the only down side I saw was it felt like it could have gone on for longer, I understand why it did not, but it did not quite feel complete, and that is why I gave it four instead of five stars. I just was left with a feeling that everything was wrapped up.

This book was a good slice of seeing what a few months in this families life was from a variety of angles. There is some tough subject matter that I thought was tastefully handled and not overly graphic, on an attempted rape and coerced sex scene. You know it happened and there are some details but it is not lurid.

Would definitely read this book!

5,0 su 5 stelle Brilliant book

This was a brilliant book. The characters draw you in, the book is written in the first person and changes between the different main characters - Mellie, Birdie, Norah and Flossie. Set in the era of the Cuban missile crisis and with the backdrop of the civil rights issues it really brings home what it must have been like living through that. Could not put the book down, just wish there was a sequel.
