Faith Bass Darling's Last Garage Sale
On the last day of the millennium, sassy Faith Bass Darling, the richest old lady in Bass, Texas, decides to have a garage sale. With help from a couple of neighborhood boys, Faith lugs her priceless Louis XV elephant clock, countless Tiffany lamps, and everything else from her nineteenth-century mansion out onto her long, sloping lawn.
Why is a recluse of twenty years suddenly selling off her dearest possessions? Becasue God told her to. As the townspeople grab up five generations of heirlooms, everyone drawn to the sale - including Faith's lon-lost daughter - finds that the antiques not only hold family secrets but also inspire some of life's most imponderable questions:
Do our possessions possess us? What are we without our memories? Is there life after death or second chances here on earth? And is Faith really selling that Tiffany lamp for $1?
