Description

""It's not the size of the house . . .

At twenty-two, Vivien is already a homeowner-albeit of the tiniest of tiny houses, a whopping 64 square footer called "Shrimpfork." It's the perfectly portable home from which to run Organization Oracle, Vivien's new business as a personal organizer. In fact, she'll be toting Shrimpfork to her upcoming client's home near Taos, New Mexico.

Seventy-year-old Priscilla has a colorful past, a rambunctious boxer named Clay-and a home crammed with treasures. . . . Priscilla also has a love for the TV program "This Old Thing?" Her twenty-five-year-old neighbor, Marco, is happy to watch it with her-while watching over her. When Vivien arrives, it's clear she and Marco are suspicious of each other's intentions. But Priscilla's determination to get her most cherished possession appraised on "This Old Thing?" soon has all of them grudgingly working together. Vivien and Marco find themselves in cahoots, Priscilla discovers the wider world, Clay digs up trouble-and everyone learns that sometimes the greatest treasures are valued for their flaws . . .
