A debut novel about the intertwining lives of college faculty wives.
Nestled among Manhattan University’s faculty housing, there is a garden where four women will meet—each with a scandalous secret that could upset their lives, destroy their families, and rock the prestigious university to its very core.
With its maple trees, iron gate, and fence laced with honeysuckle, Manhattan U’s garden offers faculty wives Mary, Sofia, Ashleigh, and Hannah much needed refuge from their problems. But as Mary’s husband, the power-hungry dean, plans to demolish their beloved garden, these four women will discover a surprising secret about a lost Edgar Allan Poe manuscript—and realize they must find the courage to stand up for their passions, dreams, and desires.
“[A] fun read about a wonderful group of friends.”
—Kate Jacobs, New York Times bestselling author of The Friday Night Knitting Club
“[A] captivating look at an ivory tower Peyton Place filled with intrigue, heartbreak and hope.”
—Michelle Yu and Blossom Kan, authors of China Dolls
“Rendell doesn’t shy away from tough issues, but her light touch and readable prose make this charming first novel a delight.”
