Adam had a special place in the family room, which he named My Eavesdrop Station. There he pretended to read, but instead listened to private conversations, never missing anything juicy. When Adam's mother interviewed the lady who applied for the job, she asked the nanny, Aren't you too old to clean the house and mind six children? From the beginning, she told the boys to call her Granny Pat, and they instantly fell in love with her. After the tragic death of the boys' aunt and uncle, their four girl cousins came to live with them, causing them to move from an upscale waterfront home to a tumbledown country house. Granny Pat moves in and becomes their surrogate grandmother, transforming their lives. Over the next 28 years, this novel covers the good times and the bad. All the children's experiences weave together to form a lasting bond that holds this large family together. My Eavesdrop Station is a special story about a special family. Author PR Roberts was born and educated in South Africa, where she wrote children's stories and nursery rhymes for magazines. With the demands of a large family, writing was put aside for many years. After being widowed, she took up residence in Australia and resumed writing. Other titles include Bury the Ghost and Mystery Celebration.
