Not people in chairs, just chairs. The old house is filled with her paintings, and the chairs themselves surround her work--a silent yet vigilant audience. At the funeral of Grandma Hutton--whom Edna has cared for through a long and vague illness--Sarah begins helping her aunt clean up the last of a life. This includes honoring Grandma's surprising wish to have her ashes scattered in Scotland. As the novel turns from the oppressive heat of Texas to the misty beauty of Scotland, Sarah learns of her aunt's remarkable secret life and comes to fully understand the fragile business of living, and even of dying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joe Coomer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1555975143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781555975142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Graywolf Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 273\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 5.92w x 0.73d","brand":"Joe Coomer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939598598399,"sku":"9781555975142","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_87fd14e4-2e3f-476d-9415-addf8ab0da82.jpg?v=1681442432","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/one-vacant-chair-joe-coomer-9781555975142","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
