One Room and a Path

Written by Virginia Maas

Narrated by Rebecca Rogers

The story opens with a poem and a premonition just outside Ft. Lewis in the early days of World War II. Young newlywed Maudie Cameron watches her husband and others around her do their part to help on the homefront. Feeling left out, she is determined to help with the war effort in the only way she can: she becomes a landlady and rents out oneroom cabins and a trailer that resides on her secluded property. But Maudie, often to her husband's chagrin, becomes more than a mere landlady to the succession of renters that make their way up the path that leads to her door. Her adventures are at times sad and frightening, but more often lighthearted and funny.

Reviews for One Room and a Path

[Melanie Cornelius · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This a is a fictionalized account of a landlady renting out rooms and such to some pretty unusual people near a military base against the background era WWII household hardships. And if you ever have had one of those days where you wonder what else can happen, this book will definitely make you feel better. Sometimes the words and analogies seem a little weird but even so this book is definitely a worth a look, just to make you smile. Despite my objections to word choice, I could visualize the story and I found myself going back to hear the rest of the story. This book is definitely worth your time for something light and amuzing.
