The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane
Published poet Lester Jacobs has signed a three year lease with wealthy real estate agent Cora Hallet to rent a house in the town of Wells, on the New England coast, the house, which she owns, where he and his thirteen year old daughter, Rynn Jacobs, will live upon moving from England, with the plan being that Rynn will be home schooled. Mrs. Hallet, who has a sense of entitlement in her high standing in town, abuses her landlord position in almost all aspects. One of the worst kept secrets in town among certain circles is that Mrs. Hallet's married son, Frank Hallet, preys on girls much like Rynn, Mrs. Hallet who uses her position to keep Frank out of criminal/legal trouble and who will not tolerate any disparaging remarks about him despite knowing the stories about him are true. Unlike Mrs. Hallet's expectation of seeing Lester out and about in town, Rynn becomes the face of the Jacobs' household to the town, which to some extent works perfectly well for Frank in being able to spend time alone with Rynn without fear of Lester. The way that Lester and Rynn had devised this living situation is a little more difficult than Rynn had anticipated with a few unforeseen circumstances, especially concerning Mrs. Hallet, and thus she takes into her confidence older polio-afflicted teen Mario Podesta, which has its own potential issues in he being the nephew of one of the town's police officers, Ron Miglioriti, in they needing to hide Rynn and Lester's secret from especially the authorities.
