But their small, quiet life is upended when Arthur Rook shows up in the middle of a nervous breakdown, devastated by the death of his wife, carrying a pink shoe box containing all his wife's mementos and keepsakes, and holding a postcard from sixteen years ago, addressed to Mona but never sent. Slowly the contents of the box begin to fit together to tell a story--one of a powerful friendship, a lost love, and a secret that, if revealed, could change everything that Mona, Oneida, and Arthur know to be true. Or maybe the stories the box tells and the truths it brings to life will teach everyone about love--how deeply it runs, how strong it makes us, and how even when all seems lost, how tightly it brings us together. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith emotional accuracy and great energy, Kate Racculia's\u003ci\u003e This Must Be the Place\u003c\/i\u003e introduces memorable, charming characters that refuse to be forgotten.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKate Racculia\u003c\/b\u003e has her MFA from Emerson College and a background in art history, illustration, and design.
