The World Came to Us by Molly D Campbell
Tommy Poole and her mother Meg have decided to become recluses together. Not forever; only for a year. And not at night when the dog needs to be walked. But in the midst of their grief over the loss of Tommy's other mother, Sam, shutting themselves off from the outside world seems like the only viable path to recovery. However, while they have decided to step away from the world, the world has not made the same decision. Soon, Tommy's best friend is living with them. And the crotchety neighbor is making his presence felt far more than anyone appreciates. And when a teenaged girl with a troubled past and an indignant future enters their orbit, life might be as full for Tommy and Meg as it has been in years. And that was before the wedding . . . Rich with Molly D. Campbell's trademark humor and resonant with ruminations on loss and identity, The World Came to Us is the author's most heartfelt, compelling, and poignant novel yet. It is a story of letting go and letting in and a touching tale of discovery and rediscovery. PRAISE FOR MOLLY D. CAMPBELL: Molly Campbell's Crossing the Street is a funny, warm, and charming novel.
