While packing up his late grandmother's house, Jason discovers a hidden postcard and an old pulp-fiction periodical. In the magazine, he reads a story written by a former boyfriend of his grandmother's. Though the story is supposedly fiction, Jason notices that the characters are remarkably like his grandmother and some of her acquaintances. And there's another strange coincidence: one character plans to send another character a postcard . . . "with a clue."
Summary Dad has gone to Florida to be with Grandma in her last days, and Jason isn’t sure he is ever coming back to Boston.
