Women's Fiction
From the critically acclaimed author of Real Life & Liars
and Things We Didn't Say comes a timely and provocative
novel that asks: What happens when the things we own become
more important than the people we love? Trish isn't perfect. She's divorced and raising two kids—so
of course her house isn't pristine. But she's got all the
important things right and she's convinced herself that she
has it all under control. That is, until the day her
youngest son gets hurt and Child Protective Services comes
calling. It's at that moment when Trish is forced to
consider the one thing she's always hoped wasn't true: that
she's living out her mother's life as a compulsive hoarder. The last person Trish ever wanted to turn to for help is her
sister, Mary—meticulous, perfect Mary, whose house is always
spotless . . . and who moved away from their mother to live
somewhere else, just like Trish's oldest child has. But now,
working together to get Trish's disaster of a home into
livable shape, two very different sisters are about to
uncover more than just piles of junk, as years of secrets,
resentments, obsessions, and pain are finally brought into
the light.
