Down on her luck and strapped for cash, thirty-eight-year-old widowed mother Ellen Woods opens her home up to boarders, many of whom transform her and her ten-year-old son Charlie's lives. - Baker & Taylor
Down on her luck and strapped for cash, 38-year-old widowed mother Ellen Woods opens her home up to boarders, many of whom transform her and her 10-year-old son Charlie's lives. By the author ofThe Accidental Mother . Original. - Baker & Taylor
"For young widow Ellen Wood, her Victorian home is a refuge--a place to feel safe with her eleven-year-old son, Charlie. But when money grows so tight that Ellen could lose the house, her sister, Hannah, makes a radical suggestion...rent out some of the rooms. Soon Ellen has three lodgers: Sabine, a German coworker of Hannah's, recently separated from her husband; Allegra, an eccentric but wise novelist; and Matt, an up-and-coming young journalist in search of his voice, who has just landed a job in London. Ellen thinks three strangers are the last complication she needs, but they make her realize just how isolated she has become. Their presence exposes a secret she's been keeping hidden, as well as a conflict with her sister that is both shocking and revealing. And while a love affair with a younger man seems like a fantasy powered by her imagination, Ellen can't deny her deep connection to Matt, or the changes he inspires in her and her relationship with Charlie. Outside her home's sheltering walls lies a world of opportunity as well as danger. Now that she's had the courage to open the door, does Ellen dare step through?"--Cover, p. 4. - Simon and Schuster
