More about Timothy Schaffert
Timothy Schaffert's first novel is about a pair of sisters who inherit their grandmother's junk shop, which leads to discoveries about their past and hints about their future. It's a heartfelt story about love, loss, and cute ruin.

"Lively and sweet-natured," says Joy Williams. "Rich and dusty with wisdom," says Dagoberto Gilb. "A delightful and startling new voice," says Robb Forman Dew.

Timothy Schaffert is the editor-in-chief of The Reader, Omaha's alternative newsweekly. His work has appeared in Prairie Schooner, The Greensboro Review, and other literary journals.
