About this audiobook
She restores what the city wants to tear down - including the man sent to condemn it.
Glass remembers. Every cut, every steady hand, every moment of doubt - it's all still there, decades later, waiting for someone patient enough to read it.
Cora Alderman reads glass for a living. She left a prestigious restoration career behind after signing off on a demolition she has never forgiven herself for, and now she keeps her world small: old windows, quiet churches, no complications. The assessment at St. Adelaide's - a decommissioned Chicago church slated for a December landmark hearing - should be exactly that. Three months. Solitary. Safe.
Then she meets the man deciding the building's fate.
Julian Reyes doesn't believe in saving everything. As the city's urban planner, his job is to put a price on sentiment - and his own childhood parish was flattened for a parking structure to prove it. A developer is already circling St. Adelaide's with blueprints. All Julian needs is a report.
