Synopsis

The truth will set you free. But first you have to find it.

What do Nell, who just moved to a small town in Alabama from the Chicago suburbs; Doris, a liberal among conservative thinkers; and Grant, a football star who’s plummeted from grace, all have in common? A summer job working at Unclaimed Baggage, a store where lost luggage goes to find a home.

In this fish-out-of-water novel by noted journalist Jen Doll, three teens realize that people aren’t always what they seem, secrets hide in plain sight, and everybody has a little extra baggage weighing them down. But true friendship—and love—will help you find your place.
