Helpful Score: 1
By the author of the Mrs. Pollifax series, a very different kind of novel. Still full of mystery, but not the same sort - more a mystery into the soul of a woman.

Sweet, slight, heart-warming novel. Fun to read.
Andrew Thale finds more than he expected when sent to inspect Thale's Folly, an old family property.
"Ms. Gilman has a nice, relaxed style and an easygoing way of telling a story." --The New York Times Book Review
A delightful, goofy book! Full of oddballs who find themselves together due to strange circumstances, this book reminds you of what the true definition of "family" is!
A stand-a-lone book from the usual Mrs. Pollifax series, but still t;ypical Dorothy Gilmore style. A book filled with wacky characters and fast action, but just as you foresee a happy ever after ending there's a where did that come from story twist!
This is a great little story of a disenchanted young man sent to check out property for his father. He meets some wonderful characters on this property who end up helping him to believe in himself once more.
