520    "Following a long-standing family feud and looking to 
       settle the score, a woman decides to dismantle her family 
       home - alone and by hand - and move it across a frozen 
       pond during a harsh New England winter in this mesmerizing,
       completely unique debut. After years of being away and 
       with both of her parents gone, Del's life is feeling 
       stagnant. Living with her father's ex-boyfriend and 
       recently fired from her cleaning job, it's almost a relief
       when she hears from her uncle who says he'll pay her for 
       the family home so he can develop the land. Sure, Del's 
       going to take the money, but she's not going to let her 
       house be demolished - and certainly not by her uncle. With
       a family that's never done her any good and a whole lot of
       free time, she decides to channel her energy into tearing 
       the home apart - by hand - and moving it across a frozen 
       pond. But as she'll soon discover, this task stirs up old 
       memories, and family members-who she'd rather forget-will 
       eventually come knocking on her door. And just maybe, Del 
       will learn that brokenness can be a remarkable gift as it 
       offers us the chance to start again. This spare, strange, 
       magical book is both a story of the powerlessness and hurt
       that runs through a family but also about the moments 
       after destruction, when the debris settles, and it's time 
       to rebuild. Not for them but for us"--|cProvided by
