Hotel 21 -- Senta Rich - Paperback
A sharp andwarm-hearted debut novel with an unforgettable protagonist you can't help but root for.
Noelle is an efficient, friendly hotel cleaner--a model employee. Or so she'd have you think . . . trouble is, she can't help but take little "souvenirs" from the rooms she cleans. Nothing of value--a lipstick, a hair clip, some tweezers. By the time the guest has noticed, she's long gone. As Noelle begins work at her twenty-first hotel, she's determined to last longer than her record of one month in the job. But then she meets her new colleagues. These women are real: they live lives full of happiness and worry, pain and joy. They make her wonder what it might be like to have true friends, people to stick round for--and someone to love. . . . Will they give her the courage to claim the life she deserves, or will her old habits come back to haunt her?
