Ordinary Springs

The Story

Lenore Hart's debut novel Waterwomanperfectly captures the shimmering dimensions of relationships-among families and between lovers. Now, Hart moves into different territory-into the heart of a girl just old enough to turn her life upside down... In Ordinary Springs, Florida, everything changes for Dory Gamble the summer the strangers moved in next door-the man thin and sick, dependent on his beautiful, city-sophisticate wife. Dory sees the way her father looks at the new neighbor-and she feels rage hot as the sidewalks at noon. She's been through one betrayal, when her mother left them both behind and hit the road. She's not about to sit around waiting for another one.
