Meet Mirabelle Buttersfield, a lonely Vermont transplant working at a high-end Beverly Hills department store, where her days are spent selling elegant evening gloves to indifferent customers. By night, she retreats to her modest apartment with her two cats and a television for company. Caught between the charming advances of a wealthy Seattle businessman and the persistent attention of an aimless local slacker, Mirabelle navigates heartache, longing, and the quiet desperation of modern life in this poignant novella about connection and self-discovery.
