A House Among the Trees

More about the book

When the revered children's author Mort Lear dies accidentally at the home he shares with Tomasina Daulair, his trusted assistant, she is stunned to be left the house and all its contents, as well as being named his literary executor. Overwhelmed by the responsibility for Lear's bequest, she must face the demands of all those affected by the sudden loss. A visit from the actor leads to revelations and confrontations that challenge much of what Tommy believed she knew about her boss's life and work - and, ultimately, about her own. Print run 60,000.
