We All Live Here

£9.99

Welcome to the Kennedy household: There’s Lila who wrote a bestseller about keeping your marriage alive. Now divorced, she watches her ex play happy families with another woman. There’s Bill – her stepdad – who moved in after Lila’s mum died. Celie, Lila’s eldest, hates school. Hates it so much she’s stopped going. Violet is nine and sings age-inappropriate rap songs, laughs at fart jokes and Lila dearly hopes she’ll never, ever change. Lastly, there’s Truant the dog. He’s just taken a bite out of the American actor who’s suddenly landed on the Kennedy’s doorstep. This is Gene – Lila’s estranged father, he walked out on Lila and her mum years ago – and wherever he goes domestic discord follows. Because Gene’s presence changes things in unexpected ways. Soon the girls discover a kindred spirit in a man always chasing life’s joys. Something is happening to the Kennedy household – but what is it? And will it break, or save, their family?

***

Single mum Lila:
Has got her hands full with two unruly daughters.
Is the author of an unexpectedly successful self-help book.
Is the impulsive owner of a flashy sportscar.

She also:
Has a stepdad who quietly moved in after her mother died.
Has a deadline looming on a book that just won’t write itself.
Is exchanging school-gate daggers with her ex’s pregnant girlfriend.

It feels like she alone is holding up the sky.

So the last thing she needs is a stranger at the door.
Not even when he’s a Hollywood star.
Needing a place to stay.
With a million-dollar smile she doesn’t trust for a second.

Because this is Gene – the father she hasn’t seen in 16 years . . .
