Description
A tragic accident, a surprise pregnancy, and a shipping tycoon in search of an heir turn Paula’s life into chaos. Set in the 1970’s when being an unwed mother was taboo. Society dictates that she must find a father for her baby, but what about true love, on her long long way to the alter.
This is the fourth book in the Manorville Series, in Book I the novel explores the relationship between the Amish and the 'Englishers,' those who are non-Amish. Set during a flood, the Amish help save patients from a mild mental nursing home. Action takes place during the flood of 1975 with flashbacks of many of the 'crazy' patients. Paula, the nursing home social worker and a very modern gal, falls for an Amish hunk who is trapped in the 17th Century. More than a love story, it is a clash of cultures.
In Book II, Paula, the fresh faced social worker at the Manors Nursing home, is jilted when her Amish hunk, lover, marries his second cousin. More than a love story, MANORVILLE II explores the religious beliefs of its characters: such as the distraught Professor, who has lost his manuscript, RELIGION THE GREAT HOAX, the orderly who prays for the poor man's soul, and the assistant who the Amish have cast out for being gay. The story follows many of the characters found in the first MANORVILLE book -- What happens to the survivors of the flood, like Lulu Belle, the world’s oldest prostitute or Sadie who likes living with the Amish.
Manorville III follows the story of Paula Davis, the fresh faced, bright eyed social worker, who is thrust into the chaos of the mental patients at the Manor Nursing Homes. In the first Manorville book, a devastating flood is survived with the help of the Amish community. Paula is smitten by a hunky Amish man, but escapes being thrust back into the seventh century by running off to college to get a Masters Degree. In book II, the ever intrepid Paula, returns to the nursing home and finds true love(almost) with the new town dentist. The shenanigans of the crazy Professor shake up the this small town's ideas when he declares, Religion is a Fraud. As usual, Paula escapes this mess by running off to college to get her PhD. In book III, Paula has had enough of little town crazies and with her new PhD gets a job with the Medicaid Fraud Unit. Of course, she must return to the Manor Nursing Homes when reports of abuse surface. The owner, founder, of the homes has died, and an impersonal corporation has taken over. The patients revolt against management. Bertie the cook, poisons the director's stew with rhubarb leaves, peanut butter is put in the clothes dryers, cement in the washers. Of course, Paula has a new love... together they force the corporation to sell the homes to an Amish businessman. All ends well until the tragic accident that begins Book IV.
