For her own mysterious reasons, Grace Page is on a quest to uncover the stories of everyone who ever lived in the house next door to where she grew up in Pittsburgh. Over the course of her interviews, she finds out about a former pro football player and his forsaken wife, the rebellious kid who set the town's woods on fire, a suspended judge facing his own trial, a hotshot high-tech salesman gone rogue, neighbors locked in a bizarre, escalating feud, a troubled veteran and his desperate mother, and a washed-up advertising legend struggling with his faith. The biggest secrets Grace learns, however, are the ones that hit closest to home.
