The members of Dunlap Fellowship of All Things in Common share everything from their meager incomes to the only functioning toilet in the community houseâ 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 Woodrunâs grave, an expense that the strict, parsimonious community canâtâor wonâtâpay for. In her loneliness, Omi Ruthâs 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 Dunlapâs RV plant, Omi Ruth discovers that there are two things of which there is no shortage in the worldâs common purseâlove and loss.Â
