Pool House
by Mary H.K. Choi - Fiction, Women's Fiction

Stevie cannot escape her mother. Abandoning college to work a dead-end job, her days are a bore. Many dream of moving to L.A, but Stevie can’t wait to move away from it, and her mother’s orbit. Moon is many things: an out-of-work actress, a recovering addict, whatever a mistress becomes when she’s widowed, and a mother. Reeling in the aftermath of her lover and TV husband’s death, Moon struggles to process her grief. Now, neither Stevie nor Moon can afford to quit each other. And their cost of living forces them into a pool house in the backyard, while their home is rented out to pay bills. But when Adam, Moon’s former TV son and Stevie’s forever crush, arrives for the funeral, the three are pulled into a messy orbit, moving back into the ‘Big House’ and play-acting a picture-perfect family even as tensions rise and relationships unravel.
