To earn enough money for a rebalancing trip with Maya, Holi gets a short-term job: organizing the attic of acclaimed author Elsie McAllister. It's an unglamorous gig with a difficult boss. Elsie--whose fame rests on a single novel published decades ago--is in her nineties, in failing health, and fiercely protective of her privacy.
