For Residents Only

Laurel Trace Court has always known how to keep itself looking respectable. When Carolina "Caro" Armas returns to her childhood home after her mother's stroke, she expects the usual burdens: packing boxes, real estate decisions, medical paperwork, and the quiet resentments that come with clearing out a life. But in a hall closet, she finds something that changes everything. Sharp, intimate, and quietly devastating, For Residents Only is a literary mystery of memory, class, complicity, and the stories communities tell so they can keep their porches clean.
