The Home for Broken Hearts by Rowan Coleman

The Home for Broken Hearts by Rowan Coleman

By the international bestselling author of The Accidental Mother, meet the funny, sweet ensemble that makes up Ellen Wood's second chance at a life full of love at The Home for Broken Hearts.

For young widow Ellen Wood, her Victorian home is a refuge--a place to feel safe with her eleven-year-old son, Charlie. But when money grows so tight that Ellen could lose the house, her sister, Hannah, makes a radical suggestion . . . rent out some of the rooms. Soon Ellen has three lodgers: Sabine, a German coworker of Hannah's, recently separated from her husband; Allegra, an eccentric but wise novelist; and Matt, an up-and-coming young journalist in search of his voice, who has just landed a plum job in London.

Ellen thinks three strangers are the last complication she needs, but they make her realize just how isolated she has become. Their presence exposes a secret she's been keeping hidden, as well as a conflict with her sister that is both shocking and revealing. And while a love affair with a younger man seems like a fantasy powered by her imagination, Ellen can't deny her deep connection to Matt, or the changes he inspires in her and her relationship with Charlie. Outside her home's sheltering walls lies a world of opportunity as well as danger. Now that she's had the courage to open the door, does Ellen dare step through?

Witty, moving, and deeply insightful, The Home for Broken Hearts celebrates everything that makes life worth living, from an author who knows how to speak to the heart.

We Are All Made of Stars is Rowan Coleman's debut novel for teenagers. She has authored five adult novels. Rowan Coleman, her husband Erol, and their daughter Lily live in Hertfordshire, UK.
