After her divorce, Meredith is left with the most dreaded part of the week—Mondays. But when a new coworker named Cal brings muffins and unexpected wisdom, she begins to see that ownership of a day can mean ownership of your life. Witty, tender, and quietly redemptive, “The Custody of Mondays” is a story about reclaiming small joys, one coffee and one conversation at a time.
