<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Sometimes it takes a little searching to find "the one." On an East Coast island, full of tall pine moaning with sea gusts, Delilah moves into a cottage by the shore. The neighbors gossip as they watch her cleaning, black hair tied back in a white rubber band. They don't like it when she plants a garden out front--orange-red Carpinus caroliniana and silvery-blue hosta. Very unusual, they whisper. Across the driveway lives a man who never goes out. Delilah knows he's watching her too and she likes the look of him, but perhaps life is too complicated already.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Sara Marchant is the kind of writer we need for these times: her scathing intelligence, refusal to engage with sentimentality, and generous, inclusive view of what makes people's lives matter restores my belief in the power of story to change the world." --Emily Rapp, author, <i>The Still Point of the Turning World</i><br><br>"This deft, devourable novella is one part Barbara Pym, one part Patricia Highsmith, and all parts Sara Marchant." --Jill Alexander Essbaum, author, <i>Hausfrau</i><br><br>"This story unfolds beautifully, with a balance of mystery and wry insight that keeps you turning the pages." --Mary Yukari Waters, author, <i>The Laws of Evening</i><br><br>"With radiant humanity, humour, and spiky powers of observation, Sara Marchant illuminates the wild and enigmatic nature of attraction." --Mary Otis, author, <i>Yes, Yes, Cherries</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Sara Marchant </b>received her Masters of Fine Arts in Creative Writing and Writing for the Performing Arts from the University of California, Riverside/Palm Desert.
