    About this ebook

    Allan McFarlane used to be halfway famous, his paintings selling for hundreds of thousands, his name celebrated, his time in demand.
    Times change.
    Broke and broken, he paints generic pictures for cafes and teaches night school classes.
    When he takes in Lilly, one of his students, as a boarder, he's in for the ride of his life. If things don't get better, they're sure going to get worse.

    A contemporary novel from the author of "Back from Vermont".
