Synopsis

 

At dawn on a sweltering summer day, scrabbling sounds alerted Jeanne of the intruder downstairs. The pull chain rattled against the light bulb in the kitchen. Instantly a sliver of yellow light raced up the stairs and into her bedroom. Someone was moving about inside the house and had even been bold enough to turn on a light. It wasn’t the first time she’d awakened to the sounds of this intruder.

“A well written cativating story with realistic settings that create a true to life picture of the 1940 time period.”

“A revealing focus of neglect and abuse between a self centered mother and coming of age daughter who tugs at your heart!!”
