About A Map to Paradise. . .
With her name on the Hollywood blacklist and her life on hold, out-of-work starlet Melanie Cole has little choice in company. There is her next-door neighbor, successful screenwriter Elwood, but his agoraphobia allows only for short conversations through the windows. He’s the closest thing she has to a friend in her exile, though, as she and her maid, Eva, an immigrant from Eastern Europe, rarely make conversation.
Then they both happen to spot Elwood’s sister-in-law and caretaker, June, digging in his rose garden one morning just before dawn. After that they don’t see Elwood at all anymore. Where could a man who never leaves the house possibly have gone?
Has something happened to Elwood? The two women can’t help trying to find out. But as they sneak up on and into June’s life, they discover an unexpected secret, and then a shared goal that's even more startling.
Susan Meissner is a former managing editor of a weekly newspaper and an award-winning columnist. She is the USA Today bestselling author of Only the Beautiful, The Nature of Fragile Things, The Last Year of the War, As Bright As Heaven, A Bridge Across the Ocean, Secrets of a Charmed Life, A Fall of Marigolds, and Stars over Sunset Boulevard, among other novels.
