The Heroines

Eileen Favorite's fiction debut pays homage to her love of literature.

Penny Entwhistle's mother runs a bed and breakfast frequented by literary heroines. Madame Bovary, Scarlett O'Hara, and Franny Glass all stayed for a temporary retreat before returning to their inevitable fates - which Penny and her mother must be careful not to interfere with. But when an unwelcome guest arrives, 13-year-old Penny must rely on the heroines she's always been jealous of to help her.
