Second House from the Corner

In the tradition of I Dont Know How She Does It, Second House from the Corner centers on the story of Felicia Lyons, a stay-at-home mother of three who is drowning in the drudgeries of play dates, lost pacifiers, and potty training. Felicia occasionally wonders what it would be like to escape the demands of motherhood. But when an unexpected phone call threatens to destroy her life, she is forced to return to her childhood home, where she must wrestle with a former lover and long-buried secrets to save the family and home she loves. Felicia Lyons is a character who mothers can identify with and laugh along with. You cant help but cheer for her in Johnsons engaging and well-written novel.
