Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Recent business school graduate Penny Baker has always rebelled against her unconventional family by being the "normal" one. Her mother, Amalia, hails from a South American tribe, while her father, Norm, is a former cult figure running a psychedelic healing center. Penny has never felt close to her older half-brothers—one is wealthy and charmingly wicked, the other a distant photographer. Everything shifts when Norm passes away, leaving her his childhood home in New Jersey. Upon visiting, she discovers the property is occupied by friendly anarchist squatters who have renamed it "Nicotine." These residents, passionate about smokers' rights, embody the fervor Penny feels she lacks, and she quickly becomes drawn to their sense of community. Moving into a nearby residence, she immerses herself in their political activism and commitment. As the Baker family's lives intertwine with the fate of Nicotine, Penny becomes increasingly determined to protect the house and its inhabitants. This culminates in a pivotal confrontation between her old family and her new one, leading to a dramatic turning point in her life.
