It is seemingly a coincidence that master doll maker Ginny Standler
inherits a co-op apartment fronting on the Chatham Square of
Savannah, Georgia, from her Aunt Marie while simultaneously being
offered an interim teaching position at Savannah's College of Art
and Design. Both circumstances enable and propel her to escape the
Fan district of Richmond, Virginia, and its constant reminders of a
romance having gone disturbingly sour and giving Ginny pause to
question her value system and relationships with others. Dropped
unceremoniously in the quirky charm of Savannah's park-laced
historical district-and most significantly into contact with the
people who live and thrive in that environment-Ginny quickly
becomes entwined with a grouchy recluse; a sour, erratic, and
sometimes irrational bag lady; a young girl direly in need of
healing; a young waiter laughing through his tears; a bitter poet;
and a possible new love interest. And she just as quickly becomes
embroiled in the individual letter-signaled mysteries of this set
of characters that both repels and compels them one from
another-but that somehow makes them a caring community. A community
that Ginny comes to suspect her Aunt Marie has purposely enfolded
her into to begin the healing in her own life. This charming and
inspirational story reflects perfectly what makes the beautifully
designed and peopled southern city of Savannah the special place
that it is.
