About this item

Sometimes, the best way to find yourself is by moving in with a stranger… even if she’s family

When thirty-five-year-old Sophia Harper loses her job and her apartment in the same week, she’s left with no choice but to move in with her eccentric aunt Betty on Maplewood Lane. Expecting a quiet and boring life, Sophia is instead greeted by a whirlwind of zany neighborhood antics, impromptu dance parties, and a house filled with more knick-knacks than she thought possible.

As Sophia navigates her new life with Aunt Betty—who insists on morning yoga and afternoon tea with the neighbors—she starts to uncover pieces of herself she didn’t know were missing. Between the quirky townspeople, a potential new career as a cupcake baker, and the unexpected attention of a charming local handyman, Sophia’s life takes a turn she never saw coming.

But when a long-buried family secret emerges, Sophia must decide whether to retreat back to her old life or embrace the chaos of Maplewood Lane. Can she learn to trust herself, and her heart, enough to stay?

This is a light-hearted and funny tale about finding yourself where you least expect it, and the importance of family, no matter how unconventional they may be. This is Book 3 of 6. Scroll up and grab your copy today!

    The House On Maplewood Lane book 3 is very mysterious. It seems people in town and even those close to Sophia are keeping secrets from her. She is not sure if her life is in danger. I look forward to book 4 to see if the secrets are revealed.

    Sophia received a nasty note in her Aunt Betty’s mailbox. She was shaken to the core! She went to Phil because Aunt Betty wasn’t home. The next day Betty and her, decided Sophia should go home right away. Betty gives Sophia a going away party. The problem is Sophia changed her mind and doesn’t want to be chased away. She is stay as long as her aunt allows her to! I received a free book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

    5.0 out of 5 stars foggy and fraught
    Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2025
    things are very tricky, as efforts to get a certain baker to move seem to ramp up.

    is there anywhere to go, when friends left behind are moving ahead with their own next chapters?

    growing pains can be awkward and personally painful.

    sorting out options and related things appears pretty tangled.

    some ties seem to bind and strangle in the face of change.

    I also have family with memory issues.

    it makes sorting out disease and disorders from folks with hidden agendas very difficult.

    heartbreaking and befuddling suspense that is well painted.
