Welcome to the Neighborhood

What lengths will a mother go to protect what's most important?

A heartwarming and life-affirming story of family dynamics, mother/daughter relationships, and second chances—perfect for fans of Maria Semple and Abbi Waxman.

After years of struggling to make ends meet, Brooklyn single mum Ginny falls for sweet, divorced Jeff, and relishes the idea of moving with her quirky eleven-year-old daughter Harri to his home in an upscale New Jersey suburb. Though she's never been impressed by material things, she is thrilled that getting a second chance at love comes with the added bonus of finally giving Harri everything she never could before.

And then she meets the neighbours.

Ginny is quickly thrust into the complicated realities of a neighbourhood defined by the ever-shifting alliances of PTA mums, Real Housewife contenders, and their mean-girl daughters. When the neighbours' secrets, back-stabbing, and bad behaviour take a devastating toll on her daughter and new marriage, Ginny must decide what really matters—and protect it at all costs.

About the Author

After graduating from the Newhouse School of Communications at Syracuse University and spending many years as an advertising creative director and copywriter in New York City, LISA ROE accepted the tougher job of stay-at-home mom and turned to writing fiction-mostly to entertain her kids, but then to tell her own stories. Lisa lives with her husband and three incorrigible dogs in New Jersey, in the same suburb where The Real Housewives of New Jersey live.
