In Worthless Treasures, Mary Hamilton delivers a sincere story about the beauty found in broken things—and broken people. It's a moving exploration of complicated relationships, buried regrets, and the unexpected joy that comes from seeing value where others don’t.
Diamond Lange is a professional organizer who has a place for everything and everything in its place. Her life is neat, predictable, and—unlike her artist mother Eva's cluttered and chaotic home—perfectly in order. Their strained relationship is marked by tension, disappointment, and unspoken wounds, especially the sense that Di’s career choices never quite measured up to her mother’s expectations.
When Eva unexpectedly passes away, Di is left to sift through the literal and emotional mess Eva left behind. Saddled with regret and bound by a promise to find new homes for five of her mother’s most treasured—yet seemingly worthless—possessions, Di embarks on a journey that challenges everything she thought she knew about value, love, and legacy.
As she struggles to fulfill her vow, reconnects with an old friend, and bonds with a little girl facing a failing heart, Di begins to see that life’s greatest treasures often come wrapped in the most unlikely packages.
Worthless Treasures made me laugh, cry, and cheer. It’s a beautifully written reminder that sometimes, healing begins when we stop trying to organize our lives and simply start living them.
Worthless Treasure is available for purchase from Amazon.
