Description

Jessica inherits an antique mall from her mother, along with its eccentric stallholders. When one of them shoots her ex-husband, Jessica is drawn into a complex web of cover-ups and lies. As she navigates this situation, she's also faced with the arrival of Lizzie, her late husband's 12-year-old daughter, who shares some surprising similarities with Jessica herself. The story explores the strange allure of material possessions and the lengths people will go to keep them. Jen Waldo's witty prose turns a nuanced look at possession and its consequences, revealing the complexities of human attachment. In this engaging novel, Waldo returns to her fictional setting, using her wry insight to examine the lives of those who struggle to let go.
