Allure
Home, Husband, Children -- Every woman's dream? Not for Nora Rochester. Nora has no idea why she is compelled to withdraw from her family. Sometimes she fears being disappointed by them, and sometimes she just doesn't like to admit she has so little control over their lives. Then, within the walls of their rambling, Victorian mansion, Nora finds secret rooms...and there she creates a very special world that is hers alone. A Better Place I Know explores with power and compassion a woman's growing obsession with escape -- and the astonishing price she pays to achieve it.
