How does a psychologist fail to recognize that her intelligent, sensitive, and book-loving mother has created “the worst hoarder house ever seen?” After making the horrifying discovery that her mother had no water in her house for at least two years, Deborah Derrickson Kossmann begins the otherworldly excavation of a childhood home she hasn’t been inside for three decades. Moving back and forth in time, from this surreal nightmare of an archaeological dig to recollecting her past and long buried family secrets, Kossmann seeks to untangle a web of complicated familial relationships. In her lyrical and unflinching quest, she comes to understand what’s been lost, what’s been found and what’s been kept in both her own and her mother’s life.
