""Nine people gather at a remote health resort --some to lose weight, to reboot their lives, some for reasons they can't even admit to themselves. Despite the luxury and pampering, they know these ten days might involve some real work. But none could imagine just how challenging the next ten days will be. Frances Welty, the formerly bestselling romantic novelist, arrives at Tranquillum House nursing a bad back and a broken heart. She's intrigued by her fellow guests, who don't seem to need a health resort at all. But the most intriguing person is Tranquillum House's strange, charismatic owner/director. Should Frances and the guests put aside their doubts about this person and immerse themselves in everything Tranquillum House has to offer -- or should they run while they still can?""--Back cover.
