Her mourning is disrupted, however, by the unexpected arrival of a builder with a contract to add a porch onto her house. Stunned, Janie realizes the porch was meant to be a surprise from her husband¿now his last gift to her. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e As she reluctantly allows construction to begin, Janie clings to the familiar outposts of her sorrow¿mothering her two small children with fierce protectiveness, avoiding friends and family, and stewing in a rage she can¿t release. Yet Janie¿s self-imposed isolation is breached by a cast of unlikely interventionists: her chattering, ipecac-toting aunt; her bossy, overmanicured neighbor; her muffin-bearing cousin; and even Tug, the contractor with a private grief all his own. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e As the porch takes shape, Janie discovers that the unknowable terrain of the future is best navigated with the help of others¿even those we least expect to call on, much less learn to love. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Audio, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47104687046896,"sku":"2940169722277","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169722277_p0.jpg?v=1769899234","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169722277","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
