Some people see a collection of old bungalows. Solomon Baptiste sees the people who make them home.
Welcome to Paradise Court, a wonderfully chaotic little corner of coastal California where everybody knows everybody, nobody minds their own business, and absolutely nothing ever goes according to plan.
Especially when Sol is involved.
Solomon Baptiste has spent decades fixing things, helping his neighbours and quietly living life according to rules that make perfect sense to him and almost nobody else. He's the sort of man who thinks transporting a lemon tree on a bicycle is entirely reasonable, who can turn an ordinary conversation into complete confusion, and who somehow manages to be the heart of a community without ever asking to be.
Then Vivian Cole dies.
Her niece Harper, a successful Los Angeles attorney with a meticulously organised life and a marriage falling apart, arrives in San Paloma to settle her aunt's estate.
What she discovers is six ageing bungalows, a collection of gloriously opinionated residents and a property developer willing to pay millions for the land beneath their homes.
To the developers, Paradise Court is an opportunity.
To Harper, it's an increasingly impossible legal and financial problem.
To Sol and his neighbours, it's home.
As offers are made, loyalties are tested and their unlikely campaign to save Paradise Court attracts attention far beyond their little coastal town, the residents find themselves confronting difficult questions about money, friendship, change and what really makes a place worth protecting.
And in the middle of it all is Sol - with his bicycle, his wonderfully unconventional logic and an extraordinary ability to remind people what matters without ever appearing to give advice.
Funny, moving and full of unforgettable characters, SOL is a contemporary novel about friendship, found family, second chances and the beautiful, infuriating business of being human.
It's a story about the people who become our family, the places that shape us, and the things no amount of money can ever replace.
Because sometimes the most valuable thing you own isn't yours alone.
