About this book
Her life was like her kitchen faucet: slow, repetitive, and broken for a long time.
At thirty-four, Beth Calloway is a woman with "good bones"—appraised and maintained, but entirely devoid of heat. Her husband, Greg, has provided the perfect suburban house and the Pilates classes, but the foundation of their eleven-year marriage is crumbling.
The master suite renovation was supposed to be a gift, but when Julian arrives to tear out the dated tile, he exposes more than just the subfloor. As the old surfaces are stripped away, Beth finds herself drawn to the raw, structural force of a man who actually sees the cracks in her foundation. Julian doesn’t just work with his hands; he understands the grit and reality of what Beth has been missing.
In the heat of the demolition, Beth must decide if she’s building a new room—or tearing down her entire world to start over.
