It’s a perfect August morning when Ellie, a fifty-year-old happily married mother of three, wakes up in the “Paper Palace” – the family summer retreat she has visited every summer in her life. But this morning was different: Last night, Ellie and her oldest friend Jonas crawled out the back door into the darkness and had sex for the first time, while their spouses chatted inside.

It didn’t change the course of their lives forever. Heller tells the story of how Elle got to where it is today, as we navigate the complexities of her final decision. Both tender and devastating, Paper Palace considers the tension between desire and dignity, the legacy of abuse, and the crimes and misdemeanors of a family.
