Product Description
A surprising, funny and heartfelt novel that shows how home and family can be found in the most unusual of places
When lost soul Emily Tomlin a.k.a. Andes Lane moves into a tranquil houseboat on Seattle lake, she hopes to put an end to nine years of tireless travelling. But it’s not long before her life is being turned upside down again, this time by her landlord, Jay, and his extraordinarily gifted but equally infuriating ten-year-old son, Chase. When Jay is sent down and Andes reluctantly agrees to accompany Chase on his quest to Sunnyside, Queens for the summer, she’s forced to square up to the secrets and lies buried deep in her own past. With romance blossoming and a newly emerging peace of mind, has Andes found her true home at last?

I bought this because I found two of Mary Carter's other romantic novels in the LBD line, extremely entertaining and witty. This was a departure from that mould - the main relationship in focus being between a troubled young woman who had been brought up in, and run away from, a religious cult, and a troubled boy.
I'm surprised this book was in the Little Black Dress line, as they are usually romances. This has romance but if you're looking for the hero and heroine on the page for most of the book, you'll be disappointed.

terrific coming of age tale
1 July 2009
Format:Paperback
For almost a decade Andes Lane has moved from one location to another like a rolling stone gathering no moss. Now twenty-five years old she decides she would like to stay put at least for now. She rents a house barge "Luna" from Jay in Seattle
When her landlord Jay needs someone to baby sit his ten years old son Chase, she reluctantly volunteers since it is only temporarily. Andes accompanies the child to Sunnyside in Queens, New York on what she expects to be a waste of time. However as she watches over the tweener, her own past arises forcing her to confront what sent her on the road nine plus years ago.
This is a terrific coming of age tale; with the spin that the adult Andes (due to her positive relationship with Chase after a very poor start) is the one changing the most. The cast is strong as each of the trio and another couple in West Virginia confronts their past. With some back story of what happened years ago, Mary Carter provides a refreshing unique road tale where the final destination is Sunnyside hopefully discarding the blues.
