Once for Yes

If you liked the national bestseller, Olivetti, you’ll enjoy this heartfelt novel celebrates the healing power of community and the endurance of love.

The Odenburgh, an old apartment building made of brick and blunt opinions, is the last of its kind in a swiftly changing neighborhood. After years of putting up with people and their many problems, the Odenburgh knows there’s no point in getting attached. They all just leave eventually. A truth that comes all too soon when the building is sold and slated for demolition, giving tenants a month to move out.

No one is more troubled by the news than eleven-year-old Prue, who refuses to leave her family’s apartment. Not when it was the last place she lived with her sister Lina, before she lost Lina forever. When Prue launches a plan to save their home, the Odenburgh joins in–flickering lights, jamming elevators, triggering fire alarms–all to try and bring a building full of bickering residents together. In the process, Prue meets Lewis, an eccentric boy who lives across the street–and the only one who can help her discover the missing elements of her sister’s story.

Heartfelt and bursting with a community of unique characters, Once For Yes is a testament to the endurance of love and the people we carry with us, wherever we go.
