Raised in the shadow of war, Ted and Marina Diamond marry, parent twins, Lauren and Theo, and set out to forge the perfect military family, disciplined and tight-knit, talented and sociable. Then the perpetual uprooting, rigid rules, and hovering violence begin to take their toll. Bonds fray, begetting secrets. Each family member has a different story to tell, before the curiosity of a mysterious grandchild sparks change.

An Air Force brat who landed on the civilian faculty of the US Naval Academy, Molly Best Tinsley taught literature and creative writing before the publication of her first novel My Life with Darwin prompted her heading west to Ashland to write full-time. Her story collection Throwing Knives won the Sandstone Prize and the Oregon Book Award. Two spy thrillers and a literary mystery later, she began tinkering with the pieces of A Modest Trumpet Fanfare, the novel she’d all along been preparing to write.
