About this audiobook
THE YOUNG WOMAN WHO RUNS THE DINER FLOOR COUNTS HER MONEY TO THE DOLLAR. ALL WEEK SHE POURS COFFEE FOR A COUNTY TALKING ABOUT A WIDOW WHO WON'T TAKE A DEAD MAN'S DOLLAR.
A bank analyst who closes every file has flagged the same one-dollar account every year for five years. Whoever opened it never touched it again. Then the state lists it online as unclaimed money, under the name of a quarryman nine years dead who never banked there. His widow wants his name left alone. The nephew wants to know whose dollar it really is.
At the diner where the county does its talking, a young woman, there since she was fifteen, sets out to buy the place before the owner retires, with less than a tenth of his price saved.
Across the county, a season of rents and back bills was paid to the cent, and it was never explained. KEPT is a novel about a county that stopped asking who paid, and what it costs to keep what you were given.
For readers of Reservoir 13, Plainsong, and The Remains of the Day.
