Architect and single mother Emily Harada has structured a well-ordered existence around her work restoring historic houses and a home life with her teenage son, but her carefully laid foundation begins to crack under stresses that call into question her architectural integrity, her parenting, and her single state. Emily, her son, and a two-thousand-year-old bronze artifact all come of age in this novel about motherhood, middle age, and one woman's attempt to restore herself to a state of grace that combines the best elements of past and present, old and new.
