Book Description
"Martha is single, in her early 30s, and has lived in Baltimore all her life. But she is late to do what her friends and family expect her to do - marry and have children - and is instead involved with Edward, a man chosen precisely because she believes that he expects none of these things from her. When she begins to suspect otherwise, she leaves her familiar Italian neighborhood for a new job in the small-town South. Martha yearns to be free of the sense of having disappointed her family - and just about everyone. She tries to distract herself by befriending a new neighbor, having an affair with a local high school teacher. But the ache for resolution proves too strong. So she returns. The ride home is long and panicked and she gropes toward an understanding of how damage can be done without a word spoken. She is desperate for peace, for some small way to make things as right as she can. As Martha discovers a growing intimacy between Edward and her sister, she's forced to take responsibility for her isolation and to realize that even those things beyond repair can be redemptive in their own way."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

"Fans of Richard Russo’s That Old Cape Magic, Emily St. John Mandel’s The Glass Hotel, and Patricia Harman’s The Runaway Midwife will enjoy Rachel’s fish-out-of-water journey to acceptance and understanding.” —Booklist "If you loved Come From Away, don’t miss this charming debut novel.”—Kate Hilton, bestselling author of Better Luck Next Time After the local French teacher scandalizes the fishing village of Little Cove, Newfoundland, by running off with a priest, the school looks to the mainland to fill the job quickly. They want someone who can uphold their Catholic values and keep a motley group of largely unwilling students in line. The position is filled by mainlander Rachel O’Brien—technically a Catholic (baptized!), technically a teacher (honors degree!)—who’s desperate to leave her current mess of a life behind. She isn’t surprised that her students don’t see the value of learning French. But she is surprised that she can barely understand their English… Is it a compliment or insult to be called a sleeveen? (Insult.) And the anonymous notes left on her car, telling her to go home, certainly don’t help to make her feel welcome. Still, she is quickly drawn into the island’s traditional music and culture, and into the personal lives of her crusty but softhearted landlady, Lucille, her reluctant students and her fellow teacher Doug Bishop. But when her beliefs clash with church and community, she makes a decision that throws her career into jeopardy. In trying to help a student, has she gone too far? Full of warmth, humor, romance and the quirkiest community of characters… Get ready to be charmed by this impossibly delightful debut, perfect for fans of Kristan Higgins and Susan Elizabeth Phillips.
