Dr. Malevola Grimm has always known her own mind. That has never been the problem.
The problem is that she doesn't always know it the same way twice.
A year after her family fought to keep her in the only home she has left, Ashworth is quieter, steadier, ordinary in all the ways that once seemed impossible. But quiet doesn't last. When a formal review threatens to decide, once and for all, where - and how - Grimm is allowed to live out whatever time she has left, Mara finds herself facing a question with no clean answer: what do you do when the woman who wrote her own wishes three years ago is no longer entirely the woman answering for them today?
There's a directive. There's a room she calls home. There's a hallway, a staffing hour, a stranger's careful math about how much care one person is allowed to cost. And there's Grimm herself - funny, furious, occasionally impossible, sometimes simply wrong - who wants, more than anything, to keep deciding for herself, even when deciding is the thing she can no longer entirely trust herself to do.
Mara has spent years learning the difference between loving someone and managing them. She is about to learn that the lesson doesn't end. It just gets harder to hear.
THE LAST GOOD MOVE is the final chapter in the Ashworth Home series - a story about staying, about who gets to decide, and about the ordinary Tuesdays that turn out, later, to have mattered more than anyone thought to notice at the time.
