daughter  nearly thirty  has returned home to Murbridge  Massachusetts  after her life takes an
unwelcome left turn. Murbridge  Darcy is convinced  will welcome her home and provide a safe
space in which she can nurse her wounds and harbor grudges  both real and imagined. But
Murbridge  like so much else Darcy thought to be fixed and immutable  has changed. And while
Darcy's first instinct might be to hole herself up in her childhood bedroom  subsisting on Chef
Boy-R-Dee and canned chickpeas  it is human nature to do two things: seek out meaningful human
connection and respond to anonymous internet postings. As Murbridge begins to take shape around
Darcy  both online and in person  Darcy will consider the most fundamental of American
questions: What can she ask of her community? And what does she owe it in return?
