The Big House on Lovelace Lane

When widow Ruth Dutton accepted her daughter’s offer to live in the annexe of The Big House on Lovelace Lane, she imagined her days being filled with sedate activities like reading and painting. But with three teenagers in residence, a huge party being planned, her formidable daughter’s matchmaking schemes to contend with, and saucy shenanigans going on in the garden shed, Ruth can’t help thinking The Mad House might be a more appropriate name for her new home.
