For reasons they can’t quite explain, the lost always find themselves on Shinbone Lane... San Francisco, 1974. Sixteen-year-old runaway Maddy is escaping the blame for a crime she didn’t commit. Miles from home, she is taken under the wing of the elderly Clara and her neighbor Ted. She soon finds a place among the kaleidoscope of personalities on the oddly named Shinbone Lane.Ted’s three-story Italianate Victorian house overflows with travelers, free spirits, and artists. His backyard is a haven for all who can see its magic, including a verbal pigeon of ancient lineage. But burdened dancer Eloise Watkins condemns the transient 'riffraff' in her neighborhood. Their frivolity rankles. Her daughter is missing. And nobody - nobody - understands.But like all who tread on it, Shinbone Lane has secrets. And, like all secrets, they lie uneasily in the dark, until the truth emerges to lay the past to rest.At the intersection of magic and reality lies Shinbone Lane and its unconventional cast of characters who converge in one beguiling brew of life.
