Eleanor’s late husband had a habit of keeping things—every receipt, every broken lamp—and now the evidence is packed to the rafters. Behind closed doors, Eleanor has managed just fine. Or so she tells herself.
Then her son Billy arrives, fresh off a lucrative Silicon Valley exit, armed with too much free time. He declares war on the clutter, but as the rooms are cleared and the past begins to surface, Eleanor starts to wonder if Billy’s sudden concern for her is really a distraction from the lonely life he’s built for himself…
She moved for a fresh start. She found a Viking romance book club instead. When Gretchen Geller trades Brooklyn brownstones for Savannah humidity, she tells herself the change of scenery will do her good. Soon, she’s swept into a weekly book club devoted to steamy historical romance novels. Between laughter, wine, and heated debates over fictional Norsemen, Gretchen begins to feel something she hasn’t in months: at home.
But real-life refuses to follow a tidy plotline. Far away, her mother begins showing early signs of slowing down—forcing Gretchen to confront the complicated, unromantic realities of caring for the people who once cared for you.
Everyone in Francis's life underestimates him. Raised by his overbearing Aunties in a small town that made up its mind about him years ago, Francis is quiet, sheltered, and more comfortable in the company of his faithful dog, the Violent Labrador, than most people.
Then he meets Carmenita. A college student with dreams of becoming a jazz singer like Billie Holiday, Carmenita sees something in Francis no one else ever has. Before long, Francis lands a job at a struggling car dealership, where his honesty and gift for listening make him unexpectedly popular with the town's older customers. Before long, business is booming and Francis begins to see a version of his life that isn’t defined by other people’s expectations.
