Two time New York Times Best Selling author Charlotte Vale Allen with more than six million copies books sold comes a moving & deeply satisfying story of three remarkable women- one physically abused, one depressed by age & infirmity, one temporarily derailed from life's purpose- who meet & are profoundly changed.
When Bobby Salton runs away from her violently abusive husband Joe taking her six-year-old daughter Penny with her she knows she is fleeing for her life but has no idea where she or her life is going. Her wish to see the ocean leads her to the Connecticut shore and a help-wanted ad takes her to the home of Eva Rule & her aunt Alma Ogilvie. Bobby bears both the mental and physical scars of her beatings & Eva independent & self-possessed is both fascinated & repelled by the victim she sees before her. Ultimately it is the ebullient precocious Penny who gains them a place in the household by winning the heart of Alma a stern but loving retired teacher who has been incapacitated by a stroke. The unexpected & sometimes unwanted emotions aroused by Bobby's entrance into the household haunt the women's dreams & private thoughts. But whereas Eva & Alma are stalked by the past Bobby is pursued by fears of Joe an unseen but ever-present danger. Penny finally is the catalyst who breaks down the barriers each of the three has built around herself drawing all of them out with her ingenuous charm allowing them to know & understand one another & in the process to enrich themselves.
