When Harper's father invites her to his new cabin for a weekend, she has a bad feeling deep in her gut about it. She isn't interested in meeting his new sweetie, Peggy. But, knowing she needs to take some time away from the chairs and sort her life out, she reluctantly agrees to go. As soon as she arrives, she is certain something is terribly wrong. Her father is not there to greet her, which is highly unusual for him. And, from naked meditation to invisible cats, Peggy's eccentricities grow more unnerving by the moment. An unexpected storm blows in trapping them, and Harper fears the little old lady with whom she's sharing a cabin isn't quite as sweet as she seems-especially once she learns about all the dead husbands Peggy's left in her wake. With no phone and no survival skills to speak of, Harper finds herself going back to the one thing she knows she can depend on, the thing she feels certain can save her: the chairs.

Luna Andersen is reticent to return to her small town of Alton, Minnesota, but she has no choice because the woman who raised her is dying of cancer. Seeing her actual mother alive and well, on the other hand, is one of the reasons she stayed away for so long.

And if he is, it throws a wrench in pursuing a romantic relationship with the one person she ever considered loving-her childhood friend Brad. Just as she inches closer to uncovering the mystery, Luna gets scared and does the thing she's always done when things get hard. She packs her bags. Again. Ruining her chances with Brad. But this time Alton has other plans for her.

Bobby Davis discovers a bag of money on a job site, and what he does after becomes the undoing of everyone seated around him on the Orange Line: Marigold Winter is a thirtysomething assessing strangers on the train with perfect accuracy while lacking clarity about her own self; Lark Brooks is heading to a job interview for a position he thinks will fix all of his problems; an octogenarian is searching for someone to continue her life's work; a young mother is contemplating a divorce; and an oblivious teenager is attempting to write a new song for his punk band. Then Bad Bobby stands up and forces them all to face their fears, whether they're ready to do so or not. A MATTER OF COURSE is a multi-point-of-view butterfly effect of one man's mental downslide. It offers a dose of mystery, a touch of romance, and a good bit of what real life throws at us.
