    Love on a half shell

    Por HOWARD, ELVY

    Sobre

    A shell is a hard object ? tough. It can withstand the ocean?s pounding for long stretches of time. A shell is also cupped; it can hold tender things, protect them and allow them to grow. Meet Rae Greene, a thirty-something woman who has made a few mistakes and doesn?t flinch from acknowledging them. She?s a tough cookie with a good heart, and she?s just been handed her sister?s kids. Fast forward nine months and Rae is questioning her sanity. She?s lost her job with the Virginia state juvenile justice system and is forced to pack up the girls ? 5-year-old Melissa and 12-year-old Torey ? and move them from the comfort of her Richmond condo to her parents? summertime cottage near the shores of the Chesapeake Bay in southern Virginia. The girls are miserable, Rae is miserable, and the fledgling family?s battle lines are drawn. Enter Rae?s childhood friend Chip who brings some much-needed relief to the burnt-out Rae. Chip is a mom. She knows how to do mom things, like hire babysitters, and search out day-care solutions. She can lend a shoulder to cry on when nothing about this parenting business seems easy. Even better, she knows a mom can?t live by kids alone. When fisherman John Clements appears like a guardian angel when the girls go missing on the water one evening, Rae senses the start of something new ? a friendship that turns to more, and the realization of dreams come true. In her debut novel, Elvy Howard skillfully steers the family through troubling channels of pre-school tantrums and teenage traumas. Parents everywhere will applaud Howard?s brutally honest look at parenting and love. Love on a Half Shell Three parts love, two parts grit ? The perfect recipe to save a family.
