The Summoned Guest

THE SUMMONED GUEST follows the story of Ella Burke, a thirty-something year old woman, who has lost her belief – in herself, and in her future.

The novel begins during the holiday season in a suburb, along Philadelphia’s Main Line. We meet Ella, a professional counselor, wrapping up her half-day at work. Following Ella on her last minute errands we learn that Ella is living a life that is not her true aspiration. Rather than living authentically, she views the decisions her younger self made for her as her life sentence.

As the story progresses some painful realities in Ella’s life come to the fore. In the opening chapters readers find out that Ella’s biological father committed suicide a few months before Ella was born. Currently, Ella is not in a serious relationship, despite pressure from her mother to settle down.

Throughout the novel Ella is faced with coming to terms with the losses in her life. As the novel progresses she admits that she is living her life to meet someone else’s standards.
