Description

In a world where everyday objects can feel strangely alive, Paper Things follows a young protagonist as she navigates the quiet magic—and unsettling consequences—of making, keeping, and letting go. Through a series of intimate, character-driven moments, the story explores how creativity can become both refuge and risk, and how the smallest choices can reshape relationships and identity. With themes of imagination, grief, and the emotional weight of “ordinary” materials, the book invites readers to consider what we preserve, what we discard, and why. Jennifer Richard Jacobson’s lyrical, accessible style blends wonder with realism, creating a tender, thought-provoking read that lingers long after the last page.
