The House That Held Her: A Clean Small-Town Romance - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A house full of secrets. A woman who came to empty it. A life she never expected
to find.

Juniper makes her living letting go of other people's things. Six years. Ninety
houses. Fourteen rooms at a time, she walks into the lives of the dead and the
departed, catalogues what they left behind, and moves on before any of it can
touch her. It's a system that has kept her safe since the loss that broke her
own life in half.

Her latest job takes her to Wren Hollow, Virginia -- a quiet Blue Ridge town
and a sagging Craftsman house on Sycamore Lane. The estate of Marguerite Voss:
piano teacher, neighbor, the kind of small-town woman the world forgets. Three
weeks, fourteen rooms, and then Juniper will drive away. Just another house.

Then she finds the photograph. The grocery list in a careful, trembling hand.
And, behind a wall, the paintings -- dozens of them, hidden for fifty years,
the secret work of a woman the art world once called important.

As Juniper pieces together Marguerite's vanished life -- with the help of
Ezra, the architect grandson Marguerite barely knew -- she uncovers a love
story she never expected to tell. And she begins to suspect that some houses
don't want to be emptied. Some houses want to be held.

A clean, slow-burn romance about the things we keep, the things we hide, and
the courage it takes to let a place -- and a person -- become home.
