Welcome to the Neighborhood

The grass isn’t always greener on the other side in this hysterical women’s fiction story about motherhood, second chances, and nosy neighbours.

After years of struggling to make ends meet, single mom Ginny Miller falls for sweet, divorced Jeff, and relishes the idea of moving her quirky eleven-year-old daughter Harri to his lavish home in an upscale New Jersey suburb. Though she’s never been impressed by material things, she is thrilled that getting a second chance at love comes with the added bonus of finally giving Harri everything she never could before.

And then she meets the neighbours.

Ginny is quickly thrust into the complicated realities of Elderberry Lane - a street defined by the ever-shifting alliances of PTA moms, Real Housewife contenders, and their mean-girl daughters. When the neighbours’ secrets, back-stabbing and bad behaviour take a devastating toll on her daughter and new marriage, Ginny must decide what really matters - and protect it at all costs.
