The members of Dunlap Fellowship of All Things in Common share everything from their meager incomes to the only functioning toilet in the community house-- everything, that is, except secrets. When Omi Ruth Wincott, the youngest member of the disintegrating common-purse community in this small Indiana town, loses her only brother, Woodrun, she withdraws from everyone and fixates on a secret desire: She wishes only for an extravagant head- stone to mark Woodrun's grave, an expense that the strict, parsimonious community can't--or won't--pay for. In her loneliness, Omi Ruth's only ties to the world remain her National Geographic magazines and a new resident in the house, Northrop, an old man caught between living and dying, maintained in a vegetative state by hospice care. Observing everything with the keen eye of a girl with a photographic memory, Omi Ruth finds herself learning to grieve in the company of unlikely strangers. With the help of a homeless and pregnant Tracie Casteel, a rebellious Amish boy named Spencer Frye, and the smooth-talking Vaughn Buey who works third shift at Dunlap's RV plant, Omi Ruth discovers that there are two things of which there is no shortage in the world's common purse--love and loss.
