Synopsis

Murder is tough on lawyers. Especially defending it, and especially if you're Jim O'Hara, a mid-life, mid-career, and successful trial lawyer. Jim is saddled with a defendant no other lawyer in his small town would take on. But the crime was awful and Jim is seeking desperately for something in his life that makes sense. Homelessness is tough on single moms, especially Sophie Skribneski, a young widow with a teenage daughter to raise. Sophie needs work, but after she and her daughter spend their first night in an old, abandoned mortuary after being kicked out of their foreclosed home, she realizes she has very few choices. Eventually Jim becomes Sophie's landlord. It is all business, he would say, with, well, sure a fair amount of affection. Affection, though, that's a tricky notion, a sieve, he might say, that can't begin to explain the bizarre kindness Jim ultimately pays to Sophie. As one reviewer has said, "This slim novella is so full of insight, so lyrical in its examination of how we live our fragile lives, that it is bursting at its seams."
