Set in Palo Alto,
California, quirky Veblen who tempts at a local hospital and translates
Norwegian, finds that it is comforting to have a squirrel living in her attic;
the noise it makes at night comforts her. It becomes a conflict of
interest when her neurologist boyfriend Paul moves in and decides to trap the
critter. Following the trip to set the "charming" squirrel free
are several subplots with the dysfunctional relationships of Veblen and her
mother and father. Paul is in the process of testing his medical device
for brain trauma veterans, and finds himself standing up against a conniving
heiress in order to expose how greed can supersede truth in some pharmaceutical
companies. The couple's impending wedding collides with all these
commotions leading to an entertaining read.
