Sinopse

Anthony Patch, a 1920s socialite exploring the New York cafe society scene during the Jazz Age.  The story follows his relationship with his wife, Gloria, his service in the army, and his alcoholism. As in Fitzgerald's other novels, the characters are complex, especially with respect to marriage and intimacy. The book is believed to be largely based on Fitzgerald's relationship with Zelda Fitzgerald reflecting his meditations on love, money, decadence, and the American dream.

    Managing The Coach House Trailer Park keeps Eddie busy, if not exactly fulfilled. 
    But the woman in the cottage at Space Twelve is stirring up the neighborhood; yes, indeed. Willow Goodhope is making waves, and Eddie's a little swept off his feet by the ripple effect she's set into motion. Something about the woman has every protective cell in his body on high alert. For one thing, he doesn't like the way his good-for-nothing brother, Donny, is batting his baby blues at her. He's even more disturbed by the threat of a stalker on the property, and he's determined to do whatever it takes to make sure the residents under his care stay safe. 
    When he comes face to face with the Shadowman in the middle of the night, however, Eddie questions everything he thought he knew about Ms. Goodhope... and himself. 
    Pick up Elderberry Croft: May Enchantment today and find out if Eddie discovers who the Shadowman really is.
