content: A novel about the tangled lives of small town folks both young and old and the relationships that evolve among them. A story that brings together people from various places and stages in their lives - Amelia, an older woman who recently lost her sister; Agate her young, pregnant housekeeper; Cole Amelia's grandnephew; Dina, the used furniture dealer; and Rosemary, the town social worker to name a few. Throw in some humourous misunderstandings, and this makes for some interesting reading.
