When Jessica, a grieving widow, inherits an antique mall from her mother she
also inherits the stallholders, an elderly, amoral, acquisitive, and paranoid
collection. When one of the vendors, a wily ex-con named Roxy, shoots her ex-
husband, she calls on Jessica to help bury the body and soon Jessica is
embroiled in cover-ups, lies, and misdirection. Into this mix comes Lizzie,
Jessica's late husband's twelve-year-old daughter by his first marriage, who's
been dumped on Jessica's doorstep by the child's self-absorbed mother and it
soon becomes apparent that Lizzie is as obsessed with material possessions as
Jessica's elderly tenants. Why Stuff Matters is a compelling ode to
possession, why people like things and the curious lengths they will go to
keep them. Returning to her fictional Caprock, Waldo turns her wry wit on the
lives of those afraid to let go.
