\nAbout The Housekeeper: \;
\nJodi Bishop
knows success. She's the breadwinner\, a top-notch real estate agent. Her
husband\, Harrison . . . not so much. Once\, he had big dreams. But now\,
he's a middling writer who resents his wife's success.
\;
J
odi's father\, Vic\, now seventy-nine and retired\, is a very controlling
man. His wife\, Audrey\, was herself no shrinking violet. But things chang
ed when Audrey developed Parkinson's eight years \;ago\, and Vic retir
ed to devote himself to her care. \;But while still reasonably spry an
d rakishly handsome\, Vic is worn down by \;his wife's deteriorating c
ondition.
\;
Exhausted from trying to be all things to all
people\, Jodi finally decides she's had enough and starts interviewing hou
sekeepers to help care for her parents. She settles on Elyse Woodley\, an
energetic and attractive widow in her early sixties\, who seems perfect fo
r the job. While Vic is initially resistant\, he soon warms to Elyse's sun
ny personality and engaging ways.
\;
And Jodi is pleased to
have an ally\, someone she can talk to and occasionally even confide in.
Until . . . \;
\;
She shuts Jodi out. And Audrey's cond
ition worsens--rapidly. \;Who is this woman suddenly wearing her mothe
r&rsquo\;s jewelry? What is she after? And how far will she go to get it?<
