Jo-Jo Anderson has always dreamed of a career in show business, and in the spring of 1946, it felt like anything was possible. Following four years of war and the Great Depression, many Americans are feeling that same sense of hope and optimism. But as eighteen-year-old Jo leaves her small Iowa farming town behind and moves to New York, she quickly finds that Manhattan is flooded with thousands of ambitious entertainers all chasing that same dream. But Jo-Jo remains undaunted and takes on a variety of jobs that keep her from returning home. Back in Iowa, Sarah, Jo-Jo's twin, excels in her studies at the University but struggles as a social misfit, feeling isolated. When her hometown boyfriend suddenly leaves, Sarah feels adrift as her rigidly planned life is turned upside down. And when a crusty biology professor offers her a lab position, her world is shaken to its core. As the twins pursue their goals, they rely on each other for support and find strength despite their physical distance from each other. But they soon find their journeys are marked by unexpected challenges filled with heartbreak, jealousy, and moments of triumph. Falling From The Nest tells a story of resilience, determination, and the unbreakable bond of family. With the 1946 historical setting in the rural Midwest and the Manhattan entertainment scene, this standalone novel also serves as a sequel to author Bobbie Candas' previous work, The Lost and Found of Green Tree .
