A New York Times Bestseller
The year is 1934. With the country in the stranglehold of drought and economic depression‚ Ella Barron runs her Texas boardinghouse with an efficiency that ensures her life will be kept in balance. Between chores of cooking and cleaning for her residents‚ she cares for her ten-year-old son‚ Solly‚ a sweet but challenging child whose misunderstood behavior finds Ella on the receiving end of pity‚ derision‚ and suspicion.
When David Rainwater arrives at the house looking for lodging‚ he comes recommended by a trusted friend as “a man of impeccable character.” But Ella senses that admitting Mr. Rainwater will bring about unsettling changes.
However‚ times are hard‚ and in order to make ends meet‚ Ella’s house must remain one hundred percent occupied. So Mr. Rainwater moves into her house … and impacts her life in ways Ella could never have foreseen.
