About Me

Once upon a time, in a quiet little Connecticut town, there was a quiet little house whose inhabitants believed in one thing: cleanliness. If you lived in this house, you understood what was expected of you. You knew your place in the scheme of things. And if you happened to forget... Well you just might get swept away on a flood of romanticism, humor, and unexpected beauty. In this Susan Smith Blackburn Award-winner, a doctor, her husband, his lover and their maid's tidy lives change forever when one stops cleaning, one starts cleaning and two find the love of their lives. A magical and exotic romantic comedy that begins with a punchline and ends with a joke.
