Old Buildings in North Texas : 9781911350170 : 17 Aug 2017 : Olivia is 32 and living at home with her mother in Caprock, small-town Texas. Her therapist is a girl she went to high school with, her promising career in journalism has dwindled to nothing, and she spends her days hawking jewellery in a Mall following a favor from a friend. Life is back on an even-keel after her descent into drug abuse, but it's a far cry from the one she imagined. Then, under pressure to take up a hobby, she decides to try urban exploration. Soon she's poking through derelict homes, churches, and schools across North Texas. Olivia knows her therapist would disapprove. What began as a harmless distraction soon becomes a lucrative business as she collects and sells antique fittings and fixtures online, but her new-found freedom starts to spiral out of control. Victimless trespass is fast-evolving into criminal behavior, and the path her rehabilitation is taking leads Olivia to question her own moral code.
