Adolpha's House — S.K. Epperson

Gabrielle ends a relationship, buys a house, and the fifteen-year-old prostitute who previously owned the home takes over her existence, until Gabrielle makes a decision to do things her way instead. Of course she pays, and so do half a dozen others, until one of them, a man with a past, the man Gabrielle was going to marry, does what has needed doing for a long time. Sometimes crazy is the only option.
