A talented sketch artist with severe agoraphobia, Ava spends her days drawing a far more adventurous life than her invisible disability allows. Until she receives a package from London, explaining that she has inherited her Aunt Beverly's entire estate--on condition that she lives in Bev's West End flat for a year. Once overseas, Ava wonders if she's simply swapped one prison for another. The streets and shops are intimidating, and Bev's home appears to be a drop-in center for local eccentrics. Worst of all, Bev left a list of impossible provisos to be overseen by her quirky, attractive solicitor. Ava is expected to go out--to experience clubs, pubs, and culture; to visit Big Ben, Hyde Park, and the London Eye. After years of viewing the world through a pane of glass, she's at the messy, complicated center of it. As exhilarated as she is terrified, will she be able to step up, step out, and claim the life she was meant for?"--Publisher's website. 541 $d 20150914. 650 0 $a Women artists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Parents $x Death $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Agoraphobia $x Patients $v Fiction. 651 0 $a London (England) $v Fiction. 941 $a 3 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006091350.0 952 $l DDPC173 $d 20180711023922.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20151112010805.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1E12F55E890B11E5A24240EDDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
