The Darling Dahlias and the Silver Dollar Bush

The Darling Dahlias and the Silver Dollar Bush

National bestselling author Susan Wittig Albert takes readers back in time to small-town Darling, Alabama, in the 1930sâ€”where the Darling Savings and Trust has just closed and the women of the Darling Dahliasâ€™ garden club are betting their bottom dollar thereâ€™s going to be troubleâ€¦

Itâ€™s the spring of 1933 and times are tough all over. The only businessman not struggling is moonshiner Mickey LeDoux, though he still has to steer clear of federal agents. But banks are closing all over the country, and the small town of Darling is no exception. Folks are suddenly caught short on cash and everyone is in a panic.

Desperate to avoid disaster, several town leadersâ€”including Alvin Duffy, the bankâ€™s new vice presidentâ€”hatch a plan to print Darling Dollars on newspaperman Charlie Dickensâ€™ printing press. The â€œfunny moneyâ€ can serve as temporary currency so the town can function. But when the first printing of the scrip disappears, the Darling Dahlias set out to discover who made an unauthorized withdrawal.

Meanwhile County Treasurer Verna Tidwell questions whether she can trust Alvin Duffyâ€”and the feelings he stirs up inside her. And Liz Lacy learns her longtime beau may be forced into a shotgun wedding. Seems other troubles donâ€™t just go away when thereâ€™s a crisis. Thereâ€™ll be no pennies from heaven, but if anyone can balance things out, folks can bank on the Darling Dahliasâ€¦
