Bubby: I can relate to Fiona's desire to hide in a comfortable place surrounded by things I love, but I tend to hide for the afternoon and not ten years. Sissy: Yes, but Fiona is alone, for all intents and purposes, and you have me. Why, if it weren't for me you would be a miserable, babbling, drooling recluse crouched amidst the detritus of your hoarder's piles of old paperback books, fabric scraps, and chocolate bar wrappers. Bubby: Oh, Sissy. Thank you for making my existance not a complete futile waste. My husband and children are grateful. It's a good thing that Fiona eventually finds Jack and Josia and her coffee shop owner friend to remind her of all the good things in life.

"It's a wonder to behold what happens when love moves in. Former child star Fiona Hume left the biz a decade ago, after she left rehab. She retreated to Baltimore and bought an old mansion downtown with dreams of restoring it into a masterpiece--maybe creating an artist's studio for herself. And living an artist's life. That was the plan. Ten years later, Fiona's huge house is filled with junk purchased at thrift stores, yard sales, or picked up from the side of the road. Each piece was destined for a project, but all she's got so far is a piece of twine with some antique buttons threaded down its length. Her money has almost run out. She will soon lose her house and will be forced back into acting. So it is that Fiona comes to rent out a room to a local blacksmith, Josiah. Little by little, Josiah magically transforms Fiona's home into something beautiful. She comes to life again. Her relationships heal and she experiences, perhaps for the first time, what it means to be human, what it means to be loved, and what it means when we let go and allow the wondrous workings of forces far bigger than we are to take over"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Despite it being categorized as Christian General Fiction, I didn't find that much religious about it. There is a theme of forgiving others and forgiving yourself. There's also a theme of giving a second chance. But these themes are not very prominent throughout the plot. I was glad to see some of the characters grow and change. It was sad that one character could not or did not--however, there's nothing to say that at some point in the future that character won't.
Fiona was born into a family of actors and was expected to take up the mantle herself--which she did for a time. In her teens, she "divorced" her parents for grounds of money mismanagement, moved, and thought she'd start up a career as an artist. Instead, she's become somewhat of a hoarder. ( )
