Short on clients and money, professional organizer Nicki Mayfield is hanging up her label maker. That is until the eccentric socialite Katherine O’Connor offers Nicki one last job.

BOOK EXCERPT
“It was perfect timing, really. My boss, Katherine O’Connor, needs your organizing services right away.”
Woefully aware of the unfortunate timing, I press my forehead against the steering wheel.
“I’m sorry, Heather, but I’m afraid I’m not in a position to help you right now.” I don’t have the guts to tell her I’ve kissed my organizing days goodbye.
“Oh, I’m sure you’re quite busy, but I’d love it if you’d reconsider.”
I suppress a laugh at her incorrect assumption. She couldn’t be more wrong about my workload. And now that the door to my business is officially closed, I’m not certain I want to re-open it either. “I’m so sorry, but I can’t.”
“Please, Nicki, I’m desperate,” she pleads. “I made a mistake, and there aren’t any other organizers who can assist me on such short notice.” Her voice cracks. “I’m willing to pay double your rate for your services.”
At her confession, my chest tightens. I’m all too familiar with costly mistakes. They caused my downfall.
I glance up from the steering wheel and survey the chaos that is my mother’s front yard. Between the overgrown trees, knee-high grass, and mishmash of debris, it’s hard to tell where the yard stops and the sidewalk starts. If this is what the outside looks like, I cringe to think what’s inside.
The reality is, while there’s a place for me in my mother’s heart, there isn’t any in her home.
