The Fence by Meredith Jaffe

'I promise you one thing, young lady. Building a fence is not going to keep the world out and won't keeo your children in.
Life's not that simple.'

Gwen Hill adores Green Valley Avenue. Here she has built friendships, raised her children and nurtured a thriving garden. So when the house next door is sold, Gwen wonders how the new family will settle into this cosy community.

Francesca Desmatchelliers has high hopes for the house on Green Valley Avenue. More than a new home, it's a clean slate for Frankie, who has moved her brood in a bid to save her marriage.

To maintain her privacy and corral her wandering children, Frankie proposes a fence between the properties that would destroy Gwen's picture-perfect front yard.

To Gwen, this is an act of war.

Soon the neighbours are locked in an escalating battle over more than just council approvals, and boundaries are not the only thing at stake.
