In Wichita, Kansas, panic ensues over the abduction of toddler pageant princess Lindy Bobo, but the dealers at The Heart of America Antique Mall are too caught up in their own obsessions to notice. Collecting everything from postcards to neon beer signs, this quirky group is more focused on the impending arrival of Mark and Grant from the popular antiques show Pickin' Fortunes. Their visit could be the mall's last chance to avoid bankruptcy. However, the fate of the mall and the missing girl may be more intertwined than the vendors realize. As events unfold, the group inadvertently uncovers surprising truths about Lindy's disappearance. Will Mark and Grant be deterred by the unfolding drama, or will they arrive in time to save the mall? Blending humor and suspense, the narrative serves as a critique of the current Marie Kondo philosophy, exploring the deep connections we have with our possessions. It argues that "junk" can hold significant value, linking us to our personal histories and collective human experiences. As the author notes, "A collection was a record of a life lived... with attention and passion."
