SynopsisA poignant, uplifting, heartbreaking love story from the beloved bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author: To read a novel by Anne Tyler is to fall in love ( PEOPLE). Thirty-eight-year-old Jeremy Pauling has never left home. He lives on the top floor of a Baltimore row house where he creates collages of little people snipped from wrapping paper. His elderly mother putters in the rooms below, until her death. And it is then that Jeremy is forced to take in Mary Tell and her child as boarders. Mary is unaware of how much courage it takes Jeremy to look her in the eye. For Jeremy, like one of his paper creations, is fragile and easily torn--especially when he's falling in love...., A poignant, uplifting, heartbreaking love story from the beloved bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author: "To read a novel by Anne Tyler is to fall in love" ( PEOPLE).
