Throw Money At It

Tamar knows better than most that generosity is not always what it appears to be. Money can help. It can comfort. It can smooth over an uncomfortable moment before anyone has to say what needs to be said.

And in Tamar's world, people have become remarkably good at that.

Around Tamar, money keeps finding its way into the spaces where harder conversations ought to be. Family members offer help, whether it is wanted or not. René, meanwhile, is discovering that generosity has its advantages-and that being generous can make it surprisingly difficult for anyone to object to what comes with it.

But money has a way of carrying more than its stated value. A gift can become an obligation. Help can become leverage. An apology can arrive without anyone ever admitting what they did.

As old relationships shift and good intentions become increasingly expensive, Tamar finds herself confronting the difference between solving a problem and simply paying not to deal with it.

Warm, funny, and sharply observant, Throw Money At It is a literary novel about guilt, generosity, family, and what happens when saying what needs to be said feels harder than simply throwing money at it.
