Forthcoming Books

Why do we love the things that we do? The old gui­tar, the cham­pagne flutes, the minia­ture mod­el car ― and what hap­pens when those objects change hands? In the buy­ing and the sell­ing of things, objects once loved but per­haps dis­card­ed or for­got­ten, we find a trea­sure trove of untold sto­ries … sto­ries of pain, joy, hope, dreams, disappointment. 

What new pur­pos­es might unfold when these objects move from old own­ers to new? What spir­i­tu­al, unseen things hap­pen in that ordi­nary human trans­ac­tion? Can love be passed on through pre-owned possessions?

New York Times best­selling author Nik­ki Grimes invites us to dis­cov­er what her grand­moth­er taught her ― how there is val­ue in the old and used, and how things are much more than things ― they are sto­ries of our human­i­ty. Wise, thought­ful, and unspar­ing­ly can­did, this unique and mov­ing col­lec­tion of sto­ries-as-verse helps us on our jour­neys of let­ting go, redis­cov­er­ing pur­pose, and expe­ri­enc­ing redemp­tion and renew­al for the worn out and bro­ken places in our hearts. 

Step in, look around, have a lis­ten, and be twice blessed.
