About the book

At forty-four, Clara has meaningful work, a loving family, and a past she has learned to speak around. Restoring the Oriole cinema should be a project she loves. Instead, mounting pressure, a costly decision, and her daughter’s plans to leave home expose the effort it takes to appear all right. With humor and tenderness, this novel follows a woman learning to trust herself—and the people who love her.
