Overview

Home is supposed to be a place you belong. It's supposed to be parents who are there and siblings who bug you and a life that feels comfortable. It's not supposed to be an absentee mother or a drowned sister. But that's Vera's reality, and she can't stand it anymore. So she runs. She ends up in an old mining town in the middle of the California desert. It's hot, it's dusty, and it's as isolated as Vera feels. As she goes about setting up her life, she also unwittingly starts the process of healing and-eventually- figuring out what home might really mean for her.

And eventually, that anvil fell from the sky and she realized writing was what all this previous intensive training was for. <p>She has kept every poem she has ever written - except one. Because she can't find it. <p>Thalia lives in California with her daughter. Because I Am Furniture is her first novel.
