An hour and a half outside Tucson, Arizona, The Commons is a luxury retirement community where no full-time resident under the age of 55 is permitted. Young professionals Seth and Alison Collier accept jobs there as a means of dealing (badly) with a recent loss. When a struggling resident, underwater on her mortgage and unable to relocate due to the nation's ongoing housing crisis, is discovered to be raising her grandson in secret, the story goes viral. Tracy Manaster's You Could Be Home by Now (Tyrus Books) explores the fallout for all involved, taking on the themes of grief and memory, aspiration and social class, self-deception, and the drive in all of us to find a place to belong.
