A house full of secrets. A woman who came to empty it. A life she never expected
to find. Juniper makes her living letting go of other people's things. Six years. Ninety
houses. Fourteen rooms at a time, she walks into the lives of the dead and the
departed, catalogues what they left behind, and moves on before any of it can
to find. Juniper makes her living letting go of other people's things. Six years. Ninety
houses. Fourteen rooms at a time, she walks into the lives of the dead and the
departed, catalogues what they left behind, and moves on before any of it can
touch her. It's a system that has kept her safe since the loss that broke her
own life in half. Her latest job takes her to Wren Hollow, Virginia -- a quiet Blue Ridge town
and a sagging Craftsman house on Sycamore Lane. The estate of Marguerite Voss:
piano teacher, neighbor, the kind of small-town woman the world forgets. Three
weeks, fourteen rooms, and then Juniper will drive away. Just another house. Then she finds the photograph. The grocery list in a careful, trembling hand.
And, behind a wall, the paintings -- dozens of them, hidden for fifty years,
the secret work of a woman the art world once called important. As Juniper pieces together Marguerite's vanished life -- with the help of
Ezra, the architect grandson Marguerite barely knew -- she uncovers a love
story she never expected to tell. And she begins to suspect that some houses
don't want to be emptied. Some houses want to be held. A clean, slow-burn romance about the things we keep, the things we hide, and
the courage it takes to let a place -- and a person -- become home.
