A Man in My House - Softcover
Everyone said, "To live a happy life all a pretty girl needs to do is to catch a rich husband." Dora believes this, and lacking in self-confidence, she settles for an early loveless marriage to a "suitable man" instead of struggling to overcome the challenges to her unique talent. She is content with her husband until he unexpectedly dies. With no office skills Dora is forced to take a menial job she detests to support herself and her teenage daughter, Rachel, who blossoms into a young woman. Then Rachel finds her perceived misery, from having red hair and freckles, to be the passport to an instant friendship and unexpected romance. Dora is desperate to ensnare another suitable man to take care of her. She meets her "dream man," but he turns out to be a nightmare! She must hold herself accountable for the consequences. Will Dora be able to stand up to her loving but dominating mother, Agnes, after a lifetime of compliance? Rachel encourages her mother to recognize her unique talents, but will Dora risk using the unexpected opportunity that is presented to her? Can an "old dog" learn new tricks? Will she settle for another loveless marriage where she will be a servant?
