Back Cover:
At the request of his father, New York City novelist Andrew Thale tackles an odd assignment---to check out an old family property in western Massachusetts, neglected since Aunt Harriet Thale's death years ago.

Much odder still is what he finds.

Far from being deserted, Thale's Folly is fully inhabited---by a quartet of charming squatters, former "guests" of kindhearted Aunt Harriet. There is elegant Miss L'Hommedieu, Gussie the witch, Leo the bibliophile, and beautiful nineteen-year-old Tarragon, who is unlike any girl Andrew has ever met in Manhattan.

Andrew is entranced by these unworldly creatures and their simple life. Yet all is not well in Thale's Folly. A theif breaks into the farmhouse, and an old friend of the "family" disappears. While the peace that appears to have been Aunt Harriet's only legacy to her companions is destroyed, Andrew and Tarragon are drawn into mysteries they cannot fathom. But, for the first time, Andrew begins to understand that love and loyalty are life's greatest treasures.

I think Dorothy Gilman is a wonderful author. I've read several of her books and they never disappoint. This story was another fun read about a young man who finds himself after feeling lost when he suffers from an unexpected accident. In finding a home full of strangers, he ends up finding in them the family he needs.
