Emily Lime lives in the Brooklyn community of Williamsburg, home of painters, sculptors, photographers, little old ladies, a terrifying rapist, Polish dentists--and Marcus Mead, Emily`s dog-walker. Emily and Marcus share not only a love of animals but a fascination with palindromes, Scrabble, crosswords, and word games of all kinds. Emily would like to share more, but not only is Marcus 15 years younger than she, but his father is Emily`s definitely weird and possibly criminal ex-husband, Hart. And Hart has made a deal with Marcus: find a way to do away with Emily Lime, and they`ll both get rich. Marcus is appalled, and knows he has to find a way to save Emily from Hart`s greedy machinations. As Marcus and Emily make their way through life--hanging with their friends, caring for their colorful collection of pets, trying to make a living in a difficult city, hoping to stay afloat in difficult times--they manage to find hope, love, community, and a lot more in the dingy streets of Williamsburg.
