Our September, 2006 book, "Broken for You" by Stephanie Kallos.
From AudioFile
Fate, redemption, and hope are the forces at work in BROKEN FOR YOU. A lonely, elderly Seattle woman living in her stately, old mansion with only ghosts and antiques for company initiates a complicated chain of events when she decides to take in a boarder. This is just the beginning of what grows to be an ad hoc family. The expanding collection of characters offers Anna Fields fertile ground for narrating this offbeat but engaging story. She gives a nuanced reading (and some singing, too) that showcases her versatility with accents and complex characterizations.
