- Summary
- "Elizabeth Barrett Browning might have written about the length and breadth of love, but Abby Randolph has given up on all that, preferring to spend her time between her cluttered "needs work" apartment and the overcrowded antiques mart - the optimistically named Objects of Desire. Yet Abby can't help but wonder what happened to her earlier passionate self who rejected the path set out for her, dropping out of Harvard and falling headfirst into an ill-fated love affair." "Then the Antiques Roadshow comes to town, and Abby turns up at the crack of dawn, artifact in hand, standing alongside thousands of Boston's hopefuls. But there, among the carousel horses, pipe sets, pot-bellied stoves, and bedraggled stuffed animals, it is Abby's rather ordinary - and squalid - piece of porcelain that gets the star treatment." "Abby is barely able to enjoy her good news, for the moment the show airs, life comes back at her full force. Everything changes: friendship, finances, family, love affairs, career, her view of others, and the way she sees herself."--BOOK JACKET.
