Sinopsis

'ThatâÇÖs nail soup, Janie. It will give you all the iron you need. Go ahead and eatáup. We have work to do!'áááAnd there really is work to do. Jane EdenâÇÖs dad was once a successful farmer,áconstruction-company owner, and church builder, and he tore right througháMiddle Tennessee successfully for more than half a century. But then her brotherâÇÖsáaccidental death changed everything. And her dad started eating strange food,ábuilding odd contraptions to save money, and hoarding. He simply refused to letágo of anything from old fast-food containers to unfixable bull dozers and archaicádevices of every kind. He brought it all home to the farm by the truckload.ááLouis Hinkle built a small empire and an entire house by himself in his late 70s.áYet, organizing his collection and planning for his old age is beyond him. After herámomâÇÖs death, Jane discovers their once beautiful country property is now piled higháwith everything from heavy equipment to hospital X-ray machines. Inside the houseáisnâÇÖt much better. With a long list of medical issues, dadâÇÖs become a danger toáhimself and others, and something must be done! Reluctantly, Jane steps forwardáto rescue dad. She compels him to move to assisted living and get the medical helpáhe needs. And, with a crew-and a revolver strapped to her hip-she races toáclean up the acreage for auction, while fending off wily thieves, would-be crookedábuyers, and her dadâÇÖs old business enemies. With each tattered piece of junk sheáturns over, she rediscovers memories, like lost treasures, of ridiculous, funny, scaryáchildhood adventures with dad that include Sunday church, holidays, constructionánear-misses, and more. All are lessons in how far her dad will go to save, to earn aábuck, to put food on the table, and maybe even help his kids go to college.á
