imeline historical fiction with a strong sense of place and an everywoman's zeal.


At the end of her remarkable life of ninety-three years, spanning a world war and three continents, Sheila MacGregor Beals donates her beautiful, forested property to create a nature preserve.

In the year before the park opens, Meg, a resourceful librarian who has moved to Indiana to escape an abusive husband, is renting the farmhouse where Sheila once lived. Almost a century separates them, yet each ultimately finds solace in the same woodland retreat where they both resolve to treasure their hard-won independence.


How can a single word - homemaker - be the summary of an extraordinary woman's story?

After Meg finds Sheila's brief 2002 obituary with the sparse summary "she was a homemaker," she feels indignation that spurs her on with a renewed purpose to discover more about this enigmatic woman. A romantic story on the park's informational sign launches Meg's exploration of the Scottish immigrant's life. Unbeknownst to her, the account is erroneous.


Who will question the story of wartime romance on a park sign? Can Meg solve the mystery of Sheila MacGregor?

    Rigorously researched and skillfully told, the story is rich with local history and genealogical allure. Ultimately, a story of resiliency and the power of friendship."More Than a Homemaker, " is a debut novel inspired by true events and perfect for fans of Marie Benedict and Kate Morton.
