<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>When Vida Belou suddenly marries a kindly widower and moves in to become stepmother to his three children, the prescribed life she had constructed for herself and son collapses. As her known world vanishes, her son takes control and moves them both to a place where they can begin again.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Chosen by the <i>Chicago Tribune</i> and <i>Publishers Weekly</i> as one of the Best Novels of 2005, Lily King's new novel is a story about an independent woman and her fifteen-year-old son, and the truth she has long concealed from him. Fifteen years ago Vida Avery arrived alone and pregnant at elite Fayer Academy. She has since become a fixture and one of the best teachers Fayer has ever had. By living on campus, on an island off the New England coast, Vida has cocooned herself and her son, Peter, from the outside world and from an inside secret. For years she has lived largely through the books she teaches, but when she accepts the impulsive marriage proposal of ardent widower Tom Belou, the prescribed life Vida has constructed is swiftly dismantled. <p/>This is a passionate tale of a mother and son's vital bond and a provocative look at our notions of intimacy, honesty, loyalty, and the real meaning of home. A triumphant and masterful follow-up to her multi-award-winning debut, <i>The English Teacher</i> confirms Lily King as one of the most accomplished and vibrant young voices of today.<br>
