A Changed Heart: A Novel

Fog and drizzle blur Speckport while Miss Jeannette McGregor opens her stone-colored house to the town's elite and a noisy band. The fog is discourteous, Jeannette; half the guests have to walk through it in their best clothes. You step into this one-chapter preview with Miss Jeannette McGregor at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The hostess keeps one hand on the back of a vacant chair. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
