520    A hilarious debut novel about an eclectic group of 
       merchants at a Kansas antique mall who become implicated 
       in the kidnapping of a local beauty pageant star. The city
       of Wichita, Kansas, is wracked with panic over the 
       abduction of toddler pageant princess Lindy Bobo. However,
       the dealers at The Heart of America Antique Mall are too 
       preoccupied by their own neurotic compulsions to take much
       notice. Postcards, perfume bottles, Barbies, vinyl records,
       kitschy neon beer signs-they collect and sell it all. 
       Rather than focus on Lindy, this colorful cast of 
       characters is consumed by another drama: the impending 
       arrival of Mark and Grant from the famed antiques 
       television show Pickin' Fortunes, who are planning to film
       an episode at The Heart of America and secretly may be the
       last best hope of saving the mall from bankruptcy. Yet the
       mall and the missing beauty queen have more to do with 
       each other than these vendors might think, and before long,
       the group sets in motion a series of events that lead to 
       surprising revelations about Lindy's whereabouts. As the 
       mall becomes implicated in her disappearance, will Mark 
       and Grant be scared away from all of the drama or will 
       they arrive in time to save The Heart of America from 
       going under? Equally comical and suspenseful, Heart of 
       Junk is also a biting commentary on our current Marie 
       Kondo era. It examines why certain objects resonate with 
       us so deeply, rebukes Kondo's philosophy of wholesale 
       purging, and argues that "junk" can have great value-
       connecting us not only to our personal pasts but to our 
       shared human history. As author Luke Geddes writes: "A 
       collection was a record of a life lived, maybe not well or
       happily but at least with attention and passion. It was 
       autobiography made whole."
