T-T-T-Teaser Tuesdays... Yeah!

Today's Teaser Tuesday, that 3-5 line gem of a tease, is coming to you straight from the pages of Domestic Affairs by Eileen Goudge.

"Lila wasn't exactly cut out for domestic work. She probably hadn't made her own bed since college. And it wasn't as if she needed to be brought down a peg or two. Life had already taken care of that. Thanks to her husband, she now knew what it was like to be scorned and humiliated, to feel as if you hadn't a friend in the world," (p. 85).

Here's a little info on Domestic Affairs, my March book club selection.

"From the New York Times bestselling author of Woman in Red comes an intimate story of friendship lost and regained, old loves rekindled, and a baptism by fire that ultimately leads to the redemption of three very special women.

"It begins with a betrayal that tears apart childhood friends, Abigail and Lila, when Abigail’s mother, the housekeeper for Lila’s wealthy family, is summarily banished, casting Abigail from the only home she has ever known. Now, twenty-five years later, Abigail is a self-made successful cookbook author and TV personality. When Lila, who married well and for decades lived the glittering life of a Park Avenue socialite, suffers a tragic reversal of fortune, she seeks out the help of her childhood friend. Penniless and all but unemployable, Lila approaches Abigail about a job, and Abigail gives her one: as her housekeeper.

"But revenge is not as sweet as Abigail had imagined. Lila’s reentry into Abigail’s life brings along some unexpected complications and questions: Will Abigail be reunited with her girlhood love, Lila’s twin brother, Vaughn? Will Concepción, the grief-stricken mother whose daughter perished in the fire that consumed Abigail’s factory, succeed in tracking Abigail down and confronting her about her daughter’s death? Will Lila ever find love in the wake of her husband’s suicide?

"In this sweeping emotional tale, Abigail, Lila, and Concepción are thrown together and forced to unite in order to save one another...and themselves."
