Laurel Trace Court has always known how to keep itself looking respectable. When Carolina "Caro" Armas returns to her childhood home after her mother's stroke, she expects the usual burdens: packing boxes, real estate decisions, medical paperwork, and the quiet resentments that come with clearing out a life. But in a hall closet, she finds something that changes everything. Sharp, intimate, and quietly devastating, For Residents Only is a literary mystery of memory, class, complicity, and the stories communities tell so they can keep their porches clean.
