Never, Never, Hardly Ever: A Mother-Daughter Story of Antiques and Antics

A month into a summer stint at her type-A mother's Asian antique and collectibles store, FROG, Kelly is struggling to make her first sale. The 26-year-old knows nothing about the inventory and cares for it even less.

This coming-of-age memoir revels in frequently challenging mother/daughter dynamics often played against a cast of colorful, unforgettable, characters. Kelly never imagined working at FROG. She's surprised to discover a welcoming community hub where customers are encouraged to linger and share their lives. With her two best friends moving away, Kelly treasures these new friendships, including that of a certain customer's son who happens to be dating her dedicated running partner. Happily, a different spark is lit. Kelly's now determined to shine, and on her own merit, not because she's the boss's daughter. But just as things seem to be sorting themselves out, Kelly is shocked when her tour de force mother suddenly announces her intention to abandon FROG in favor of operating a completely different business.

Kelly must decide. Should she quit or commit?
