In a church basement in Omaha, a family keeps setting a place for a daughter who is gone.
Karen Brennan hasn't stopped listening for her footsteps. David works in the garage so he won't have to listen. Only David's mother, Evelyn, sees everything clearly, and she is watching the quiet girl who has begun to help in the kitchen.
Cassandra is gentle, useful and good at being what people need. She knows how to tilt her head, how to let a name slip, how to let a grieving mother believe her daughter has come back. Everything is going perfectly, until it isn't.
The Soft Place is a quiet, unsettling debut about the thin line between comfort and consumption.
