(2) 4-6 Mavis Jeeter, whose mother moved them to Landry, Alabama, to be the Tully family's new housekeeper, introduces herself to lonely Rose Tully: "I'm Mavis. You be my best friend, okay?" Rose agrees, and together they help Mr. Duffy, a guard at Rose's gated community, overcome his own loneliness after the death of his dog. What distinguishes this heartwarming novel is its depth of characterization--small moments reveal much.
