Angel in the House — Kathleen Norris

Must a ten-year difference in our ages keep us from a lifetime of happiness?

Lee Fargo, a beautiful widow at the end of forty, asks herself this agonizing question even as she makes plans to marry Jud Calhoun.

Lee hopes that her teen-age daughter Angel will approve of her marriage. But Angel, childishly jealous, wants her mother's love all for herself. She will do anything to drive Jud away.

Torn between the love of her only child and her last chance for a new life, Lee desperately tries to bring Angel and Jud together. But unwittingly she has created only more anguish.
