The townsfolk are scandalized.until they go in, and she tells them to look around and see what's there. She opens the shop, but she is selling only broken things. She goes about her business almost as though the town and the people don't exist at all, other than to make an effort to avoid them and any questions they might have.Īnd then comes the inspirational stuff. Some want to kick her out, but others are willing to give her another chance. She snubs the locals and does what she good and well pleases to do, which causes the town to erupt into arguments. Understandably, the townsfolk get suspicious. She pays cash for a building up for auction and refuses to tell anyone what she's going to do. So a strange woman comes to town in November with a car full of junk and a hippie sense of style. The only reason I finished is because it was short and I kept thinking that surely a Christmas story would turn around and get happier. This was one of the most depressing stories I've read all year.
