Description

Lark Summerville’s life has few surprises–and that’s just how she likes it. All she wants is to live out her angst-riddled life in her blue-collar Baltimore neighborhood, punctuated by weekly trips to her local parish, where Lark is organist, and telephone conversations with desperate souls who dial her hotline at 1-777-IPRAY4U. Then one night, Lark’s home is destroyed by a fire, forcing her out of her comfortable nest and back to the childhood home she has avoided for years. At show more Stoneleigh House, Lark is surrounded by three very different women: her grown daughter, Flannery; her barely tolerable socialite mother, Leslie; and Prisma Percy, housekeeper and family confidante, all of whom believe Lark was widowed years before. In this circle of women, Lark’s carefully constructed existence begins to unravel, even as the promise of a new one unfolds. But when her contrite ex-husband shows up, longing to assume his role as Flannery’s father, twenty years after his desertion, Lark finds that she must face her own lies–and her past–before a new life can unfold. show less

rabck from sweetsangria; one of my oldest abc tbrs. Lark has fought for 20 years to not go home after the breakup of her marriage & birth of her daughter. But when her house burns down, there's nothing to do but head back to live with her widowed socialite mother and the housekeeper who practically raised her, with her college daughter. Chapters are told in the 4 voices of the women, as the months flow forward and the relationships change. And with the changes, growth occurs among the women, with Flannery, the college gal, leading the way.
