When an ad pops up for a carpenter position at a small construction company, he jumps at the chance to take a step forward.Klara's and Alex's stories unfold through a series of miscommunications in this clever and witty novel from debut author Ally Zetterberg that's about finding acceptance and even love in unexpected places.
