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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLisa 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePraise for Helen Brown and Her Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"\"A buoyant tale, heartfelt and open.\"\" --\u003cem\u003eBooklist \u003c\/em\u003eon \u003cem\u003eCleo\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"\"Brown writes eloquently about the bonds between women ... a moving story of love and identity.\"\" --\u003cem\u003eKirkus Reviews \u003c\/em\u003eon \u003cem\u003eCats \u0026amp; Daughters\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHelen Brown \u003c\/b\u003e was born and brought up in New Zealand, where she first worked as a journalist, TV presenter, and scriptwriter.
