Everyone in Eleanor's life seems determined to fix her. Her late husband was a horder and now the evidence is packed to the rafters. Eleanor insists she's managing just fine. But her bossy, overbearing friends aren’t buying it. And neither are her grown children.

When her son Billy arrives fresh off a lucrative Silicon Valley exit with time—and opinions—to spare, he declares war on the clutter. Within days, the house is overrun with contractors, donation piles, and Grace—a serene professional organizer who glides through Eleanor’s rooms, and her defenses, with equal ease.

But as the rooms are cleared and long-buried memories begin to surface, she begins to wonder whether Billy's determination to fix her life is really an attempt to avoid facing his own.
