About this listen
Three women. Two crimes. One Homeowner’s Association. And a whole lot of secrets…
Valerie Park: nurse, widow, harassee of the president of her Homeowner’s Association.
Holly Kent: president of the Homeowner’s Association, harasser of Valerie, all-around pain in the ass.
Clementine Harrison: photographer, yoga teacher, free spirit, defender of harassed women.
After selling everything she owns and road tripping across Canada in a converted school bus named Matilda, Clementine moves next door to Valerie.
Valerie is depressed, scared, and lonely. And even though she doesn’t know it, she’s also the victim of a crime.
Clementine befriends Valerie and helps her find her voice, her courage, and an independence she never knew she possessed. Together they embark on a mission to dethrone Holly Kent, the tyrant of their neighbourhood who polices everything her neighbours do. In the process they discover a few shocking secrets that make them question everything they thought they knew...

Story
Neighbors Gwen, Aimee, and Lisa share more than playdates and coffee mornings on their tranquil street in East Bethesda. They confide their deepest secrets, navigate the challenges of motherhood together, and provide a support system that seems unbreakable. But when Gwen's husband is found murdered after one of their weekly Friday night dinners, the peaceful quiet of their cul-de-sac shatters. The seemingly idyllic world of the three close-knit mom friends becomes a web of deception, betrayal, and revenge.

Story
I used to enjoy my job. I was good at it and felt fulfilled. I also used to enjoy spending time with the people I worked with. They say you spend more time with your work colleagues than you do with your family members, but that was fine by me because I made two very good friends at the office. I also allowed myself to get a little too close to my boss, but I soon realized that was a mistake. Unfortunately, it was too late by then, and as my personal and professional lives quickly blurred into one, that was when everything changed.

Holly Kent, HOA president, has nothing but time on her hands to focus on upholding the neighborhood covenants. When she founded the HOA thirty years ago the neighborhood wasn’t nearly as well kept and highly desired as it is now. She prides herself on her meticulous and rigid standards and secretly has her own ranking system for the entire neighborhood, of which she herself obviously holds first place.
Recently widowed, Valerie is scared to leave the four walls of her house for fear of Holly. That is until Clementine comes over to introduce herself. With her upbeat attitude, body positivity, and bold outlook on life, Clementine is easy to befriend. And, while readers are sure to adore Clementine and even the elderly Marjorie, we also can’t help but feel a bit of empathy for Holly and relatability to Valerie’s anxious plight.
The Ho Hos, short for Holly and her husband Homer, make living in Pleasant Hill anything but pleasant. Unbearable in their pursuit of upholding the neighborhood covenants, they’ve taken to bullying residents into compliance. But bullies must be stopped, and the newest resident, free spirited Clementine Harrison is determined to give them a taste of their own medicine – while complying just within the covenants, of course.
As Verheyden’s HOA nightmare unfolds readers begin to understand each of these women are victims. Victims of their gender, their careers, their past, or their present. As the nasty and bitter neighborhood theatrics play out, these women forge ahead, together. “The Homeowner’s Association” certainly contains thrilling psychological fiction, but it also houses honesty, vulnerability, and often uniquely female experiences. I related wholeheartedly with Valerie, Marjorie, Clementine, and even Holly, and none of the relatability had to do with my own, relatively boring, homeowner’s association experiences.
Miriam Verheyden pens an empowering work of fiction. Wrapped in drama and fear, readers find friendship, forgiveness, and even a new way to embrace their lawns.
An empowering work of fiction!
