 boxes of Polaroids and pottery\, a mysterious wooden duck shows up at th
 e bottom of a cedar chest. Laurie’s curiosity is piqued\, especially a
 fter she finds a love letter to the never-married Dot that ends with the
  line “And anyway\, if you’re ever desperate\, there are always duck
 s\, darling.”\n\nLaurie is told that the duck has no financial value. 
 But after it disappears under suspicious circumstances\, she feels compe

 ing up\, coming home\, and learning to make a life for yourself on your 
 own terms.
