THE PAPER PALACE - MIRANDA COWLEY HELLER KARTON...

"This house  this place  knows all my secrets."  A story of summer  secrets  love  and lies: in
the course of a singular day on Cape Cod  one woman must make a life-changing decision that has
been brewing for decades.  It is a perfect July morning  and Elle  a fifty-year-old happily
married mother of three  awakens at "The Paper Palace"-the family summer place which she has
visited every summer of her life. But this morning is different: last night Elle and her oldest
friend Jonas crept out the back door into the darkness and had sex with each other for the
first time  all while their spouses chatted away inside. Now  over the next twenty-four hours 
Elle will have to decide between the life she has made with her genuinely beloved husband 
Peter  and the life she always imagined she would have had with her childhood love  Jonas  if a
tragic event hadn't forever changed the course of their lives. As Heller colors in the
experiences that have led Elle to this day  we arrive at her ultimate decision with all its
complexity. Tender yet devastating  The Paper Palace considers the tensions between desire and
dignity  the legacies of abuse  and the crimes and misdemeanors of families.  Story Locale:
Cape Cod
