Marjorie Moore always wants moreβand as a result, often feels she ends up with less. Forever searching elsewhere, she is consumed with wanting, or in her opinion, needing. Feeling trapped by her town and her family, she escapes through shopping, pill popping, and fantasizing about a possible affair with a friend from high school. Her growing credit card debt βforcesβ her to sell prescription drugsβwhich she secures at her receptionist job at the local hospitalβto her dysfunctional friends. As her web of lies at home and work unravels, Margie struggles to become present in her own life. Astute and provocative, Grotheimβs prose captures many of lifeβs dichotomiesβduplicity versus authenticity, recklessness versus stability, and searching versus findingβin this moving debut novel.
