Never Ready (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798992300307)

Never Ready is a New York Coming of Age.

Precocious Henrietta Drake knows it's weird if your mother is your best friend. When her mom decamps for a Swiss psychiatric hospital, things really unravel.

Henri isn't thrilled about a senior year with only her architecturally obsessed dad and is shocked when he suggests she drop out and head for the West Village.

The only catch is she has to live with a half sister she barely knows and work for a dance company she's never heard of.

As the orbit of design and dance around American Genius Mark Carpenter collides with an epidemic, it reveals the tough, tender secrets of dysfunctional art families. Now Henri must confront their contradictions and fragility, not to mention her own.

Never Ready features an anxious heroine curating her own life. Art helps her hang on, but is she ready for more goodbyes?
