Eliza Starts a Rumor is a literary fiction book by author Jane L. Rosen.
When Eliza Hunt founded the Hudson Valley Ladies’ Bulletin Board 15 years ago, she was happily mingling into her picturesque suburban life with her husband and two preschool children. An empty nest and a case of crippling agoraphobia, the once-rejoice has become her salvation. When a rival parenting forum threatens the site’s existence, she doesn’t think twice before inventing a false rumor to spark everything.

Across town, new mom and website fanatic Olivia York is put in a predicament by what she reads on the Bulletin Board. Allison Le is making friends online with a woman who isn’t what she says she is. And Eliza’s childhood friend Amanda Cole may hold the key to uncovering why Eliza can’t walk out her front door.
