Book 107: The Chaperone


I knew I was going to love this book and I was right.  It's about a woman who volunteers to chaperone a young girl to NYC in the 20's.  Her children are grown and she has her own reasons for wanting to leave Kansas and go to New York City.  Her charge is a difficult 15 year old girl who wants to make it big in theatre and has no intention of going back home.  There were a few surprises in this book, one where my mouth was left hanging open for a few minutes.  I love that it followed to story through to a natural ending and didn't leave you hanging and wondering what became of the characters.  Highly recommended.  I'd love to see this made into a movie.
