Bessie Blackwell, copy room manager at Phillips Petroleum and faithful churchgoer, is the reluctant owner of a new pair of glasses. The young women in the office swear by Bessie\u2019s romantic advice, even though she\u2019s a self-proclaimed spinster. Frank Davis, Henderson House\u2019s newest tenant, throws that status into question with his gentle eyes and ready smile. But the scar on his forehead and rumors of divorce speak of a troubled past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bessie\u2019s sister, Florence, a sales assistant at the men\u2019s clothing store downtown, knows all about troubled pasts. Her husband is dead, and it\u2019s only with her sister\u2019s help that she\u2019s able to raise Johnny. Life at Henderson House is luxurious compared to growing up in Cherokee Indian Territory, but Florence wants more for her boy than a rented room. When the flagship store in Tulsa offers her a management position, Florence sets her sights on the future and keeping the family together. And neither future nor family includes Frank Davis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mrs. Henderson, the landlady, cook, and adopted matriarch of the Blackwell clan, possesses an uncanny intuition about all her boarders. She knows true love when she sees it. But soon even her vision becomes clouded as Florence schemes to undermine her sister\u2019s budding romance. In a desperate attempt to keep Bessie by her side, Florence exposes the sisters\u2019 darkest secret. A secret that will change their lives, and the lives of those they love, forever.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":15040,"template":"","format":[181],"meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"book-author":[435],"blockchain":[4],"book-genre":[],"narrator":[436],"book-publisher":[334],"series":[],"class_list":["post-15038","book-dea","type-book-dea","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","book-author-caren-simpson-mcvicker","blockchain-cardano","format-audiobook","narrator-jenn-lee","book-publisher-john-marshall-media"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
