  <default_description>&lt;B&gt;A debut novel about the intertwining lives of college faculty wives.&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Nestled among Manhattan University&#8217;s faculty housing, there is a garden where four women will meet&#8212;each with a scandalous secret that could upset their lives, destroy their families, and rock the prestigious university to its very core.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; With its maple trees, iron gate, and fence laced with honeysuckle, Manhattan U&#8217;s garden offers faculty wives Mary, Sofia, Ashleigh, and Hannah much needed refuge from their problems. But as Mary&#8217;s husband, the power-hungry dean, plans to demolish their beloved garden, these four women will discover a surprising secret about a lost Edgar Allan Poe manuscript&#8212;and realize they must find the courage to stand up for their passions, dreams, and desires.</default_description>
