Betsy Carter, LOST SOULS AT THE NEPTUNE INN

Betsy: It’s about what lengths people will go to to find a home. In this book, there's several characters who've sort of been tossed out by their families or for some reason or another left home. There's several lost souls who come together, find each other, and even in extreme situations and even though it doesn't seem a perfect fit, they get together because they cling to each other for a home. It takes place, it ranges from the twenties to the eighties. My two main characters, one of them has a child out of wedlock and is really almost disowned by her parents. Another one, she lives in New Rochelle, New York. The other one is a Southern lovely man who has had a very difficult childhood. He has been different from everybody else. He makes his way to the North after a horrible situation. Something traumatic and horrible happens to him. They find each other. He falls in love with our main character's daughter. Her name is Alice. He falls in love with her and decides that this could be his home. Even though it's not a perfect fit, they get together and they get married. It's really the story of the evolution of that kind of relationship, making a family where there really is none, and what happens even when it threatens to fall apart. Does the family stick together, or does the family go to pieces?
