Ellen Fremedon

When Ellen Fremedon decides to write a novel one summer, she looks no further than her own small town of Partridge Cove. The town is full of eccentric figures Larry the librarian, who lets her photocopy her sneakers, and gruff shopkeeper Mr. Floyd, who greets every customer with a jab. At home she deals with her philosopher father, her mother battling multiple sclerosis, mischievous twins, an opinionated grandmother, and her grandmother's charming boyfriend. With the help of her friend Jenny, Ellen discovers that the everyday drama, hidden secrets, and quirky personalities around her provide all the mystery and intrigue she needs for her story.
