The Maid

by Nita Prose
A feel-good book perfect for a laid-back Sunday when you want to relax with a good book; it's heartwarming, delightful, with a perfectly likable main character, Molly. She is somewhere on the autism spectrum, and so has a unique perspective on the world; she is very engaging.
