When You Dance With The Devil

After the death of her bitter and demanding mother, Sara Jolene Tilman finds herself alone in the world for the very first time - and ready for a fresh start. Leaving behind the pain and isolation of her former life, Sara becomes Jolene and moves into the aptly named Thank the Lord Boarding House, a modest Oceanside sanctuary that house eleven other 'misguided souls'. Surrounded by strangers, Jolene is forced to confront how socially awkward - and achingly lonely - she really is.
