WIDOW'S PEAK

Pub Date: Aug. 19th, 1940
Publisher: Dodd, Mead

Mother and daughter in emotional upheaval when Lizbeth, innocent and eighteen, returns from school abroad to discover her mother providing board, inspiration and romance for a selfish young painter. Then the struggle -- Lizbeth fighting for her mother's reputation. The mother gets a young psychiatrist to come -- ex-officio -- to stay with them. He and Lizbeth fall in love. Slender little story, rather starry eyed, designed for the rental market.
