Candy only wanted that dented, blue doublewide ... to her surprise she also got a life. Candy Schein had always been the kid in the middle row, halfway back. No trouble, no questions, no drama.

Produktbeschreibung
Candy only wanted that dented, blue doublewide ... to her surprise she also got a life. Candy Schein had always been the kid in the middle row, halfway back. No trouble, no questions, no drama. She'd discovered early that being a fat girl was endlessly funny to the world, so she stopped talking to it. Turning away and keeping her head down suited her just fine-it was comfortable there, no tight seams or binding waistbands. Then she saw the mystic blue doublewide. Not only was its color gorgeous, but it was oversized and discounted. A perfect fit. But, for the house to be hers, Candy must learn to face the world. A mortgage, insurance, permits, contractors, debt-all of this requires engagement, conversation, small talk. Even harder, she must sometimes look people in the eye and ask for help. The Doublewide is a love story about a home, about making a life, and, to Candy's surprise, about a man.
Autorenporträt
Ann Goethals is a retired high school English teacher who set aside her own writing aspirations for three decades to nourish those of her students. During that time, she also developed new teacher training programs, created a student writing center, and worked in union leadership. She retired "into COVID" (a not unhappy coincidence) and has since focused her energies on her own writing. Goethals works in all genres and has had several pieces published in online journals. The Doublewide is her first novel and she is busy working on a sequel. Goethals divides her time between Northern Michigan and Chicago, accompanied by her partner Richard and their dog Dude. She is never far from the lake.
