Considering Love and Other Magic

Fact and fiction collide when troubled teenager Jessie Wilson arrives at the home of Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Veronica Guest, the long-forgotten literary darling of 1948. In desperate need of extra high school credits Jessie agrees to tutor young Tommy Faber, but when the timid 14-year-old insists he hasn’t left Veronica’s mansion in more than half a century, Jessie knows that something’s amiss. Tommy is convinced he’s a work of fiction, a make-believe boy magically conjured from the pages of a short story that first appeared in 1952. Jessie is keen to understand Tommy’s reclusive nature and meet his mysterious uncle – the elusive dime novel detective, Jasper Diamond. As the mansion’s dusty secrets come to light, Jessie is convinced she can make Tommy a real boy.
