HVWG member Eileen Kelly is excited to announce that Flexible Press has published of her first novel, Small Wonder. The new book is available for purchase from the publisher and Amazon.
Tina, 30-year-old preschool teacher and the single mom of ten-year-old Matty, finds herself stuck. Every day she takes her run with her dog, goes to work, looks after her friend/neighbor/landlady’s girl, has a few glasses of wine, and, well, that’s about it.
Enter a new student in Tina’s preschool class, Jonah. He and his ten-year-old sister have just moved with their father Patrick from Colorado, leaving behind painful and muddled memories of their mother’s sudden death. Tina finds Patrick an attractive man who endears himself to nearly everyone he meets, and he’s available and interested.
Meanwhile, both Tina’s housing and her employment are increasingly precarious. What about Patrick? Maybe something will work out there, a big, happy blended family perhaps. If she ignores the sea of waving red flags….
Eileen Kelly lives in Stephentown, New York, where she writes development documents for criminal justice and mental health nonprofits and fiction for children and adults. Her stories have appeared in the Tupelo Quarterly and Wrongdoing Magazine. She is a winner of the Hopwood Award in the Novel from the University of Michigan’s MFA program. This is her first novel.
