The missing treasures of Amy Ashton / Eleanor Ray.

Ray, Eleanor, (author.).

Summary:

Amy Ashton once dreams of becoming an artist and creating beautiful objects. Now she simply collects them-and they take up every available inch of space in her house. After a tragedy in her life, she's decided that it's easier to love things than people. When a family with two young boys moves next door, one of the boys has a collection of his own. His love of bulldozers makes Amy begin to question why she began to close herself off in the first place. -- adapted from jacket
