            From New York Times bestselling  author Helen Brown comes a witty, uplifting novel about a woman who  discovers that it's never too late to build the home--and the  life--you've always longed for…The windows rattle. The roof  leaks. Every surface cries out to be stripped, painted, or polished. But  for writer Lisa Trumperton, the dilapidated manor house that once  belonged to her great-grandfather is far more than the sum of its  battered parts. It's the chance for a new start on her own terms.

                        From New York Times bestselling  author Helen Brown comes a witty, uplifting novel about a woman who  discovers that it's never too late to build the home--and the  life--you've always longed for…The windows rattle. The roof  leaks. Every surface cries out to be stripped, painted, or polished. But  for writer Lisa Trumperton, the dilapidated manor house that once  belonged to her great-grandfather is far more than the sum of its  battered parts. It's the chance for a new start on her own terms. The  fact that it's in the Melbourne countryside of her Australian homeland,  far from the deceitful ex-husband she just left behind in New York…well,  that's a bonus. Lisa sets to work refurbishing Trumperton  Manor, assisted by her son, his friends, and a Gray Army of retired  handymen. But it's not just her ancestral home that's being transformed.  As she trades her chic Manhattan clothes for jeans and work boots, Lisa  is changing and fortifying her relationships with her family and her  sense of self. There are floods, fires, and catastrophes, but there are  new allies too, including a one-eyed cat, a stubborn cockatoo, and a  rugged landscaper with an irresistible grin. Piece by piece, the house  is pushing Lisa beyond her old limits, daring her to embrace something  bigger, braver, and more rewarding than she ever dreamed. Praise for Helen Brown and Her BooksA buoyant tale, heartfelt and open. --Booklist on CleoBrown writes eloquently about the bonds between women … a moving story of love and identity. --Kirkus Reviews on Cats & Daughters
