In Guest House, a shy, ingenious boy cracks open Melba Burns' solo world, and she sees--almost too late--someone genuinely worth protecting. Melba gets stopped in her in her high-achieving tracks at the site of a terrible accident. She parks her car, quits her job and burrows into her beloved farmhouse seeking peace. But peace and Melba's new roommate, JoLee Garry, have never met. JoLee brings boyfriends, booze and layoffs into Melba's household, not to mention an alcoholic husband who has kidnapped their son Matt.   The disintegrating Garry family trails a series of unexpected guests into Melba's world, changing her forever. When you let it, love beats all.
