Synopsis

A broken dream. A historic house. A mysterious past.

Agnes Quinn, a failed novelist and new English professor at Brighton Park Community College, is ready to give up on her literary ambitions and her own happy ending. Her novel, Trevorode the Defender, remains unfinished after years of effort. When she moves into the Magnolia Arms—a crumbling boarding house filled with eccentric dreamers—she uncovers the tragic history of its reclusive owner, Jonas Grinstead, and a love story left unfinished.

As Agnes pieces Jonas's mysterious past together, she uncovers a tragic history and a wealthy developer with a decades-old vendetta who threatens to bulldoze the historic landmark. As the deadline for demolition looms, Agnes must rally her ragtag found family to save their home. Ultimately, she faces a heart-wrenching choice: save Jonas’s dream, or sacrifice her own artistic future to protect the people she’s come to love.

Trevorode the Defender is upmarket book club fiction with a clean small town mystery heart, perfect for fans of Fannie Flagg, Jan Karon, and The Mitford Series.

If you love cozy literary fiction about second chances, healing, and the enduring power of friendship, this comfort read will stay with you long after the final page.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Texas born and bred, Holly Bebernitz moved to Jacksonville, Florida, with her parents in 1967. Brought up among mesquite trees and tumbleweeds, she still appreciates living in a city on a river, near the sea. After college and a year of traveling with a drama and music team, she returned home, married, had three children, and taught speech, English, and later history on the secondary and college levels. Her debut novel, Trevorode the Defender, begun in 1998, remained unfinished until she retired from classroom teaching in 2010 to become a full-time grandmother. She looks forward to writing the sequel.
