I wasn't sure what book category to put this in....
I have never read anything by Charlotte Vale Allen. I have decided that I am going to read some of the authors that I never have.
"For twenty-seven years - since the death of her movie-star mother - Lucinda Hunter has been a virtual recluse. It sometimes takes her days to summon the courage to venture past her front door. Then, one July morning, a motion in the garden catches her eye. Looking out, she sees a little girl admiring the overgrown flower beds. She can't be real, Lucinda thinks. But the girl beckons to her and, bemused, curious, Lucinda goes outdoors to make the acquaintance of nine-year-old Katanya Taylor who, courtesy of the Fresh Air Fund, has come to spend two weeks in Connecticut. Taken with the girl's sweet nature, intelligence and generosity, Lucinda finds herself gradually, painfully drawn back into the world."
