I have a friend who read a book about 20 to 25 years ago and would like
to look at it again.
What she remembers of the plot is -- A woman responds to a help wanted
ad as a housekeeper to a man with three grown children. The housekeeper
develops romantic feelings for the man but he has to go underground.
(maybe because of a financial fiasco?) The three grown children must now
go out and seek employment. The younger daughter wants to be an actress.
The older daughter becomes a mistress to a homely man. She thinks the
other child is a son but she is not sure and she can't remember what
he/she did.
We have searched our library and Novelist and have come up empty handed.

Thanks,
Genevieve
