A powerful multigenerational saga about inheritance, a family farm, and meddlesome family ghosts. Things are tough for 32-year-old Aubrey: she’s broke, fresh off a break-up, fighting with her sister, and grieving her father’s death. But things start looking up when she learns her father bequeathed her his share of his family’s Tennessee farm. But little does she know, the farm is haunted by four hilarious, opinionated family ghosts who are deeply invested in that property—and, by extension, Aubrey. As Aubrey travels to Tennessee to connect with her father’s family and—to their horror—contemplate selling her share to a developer, the ghosts unspool the history of the land and how they came to haunt it. I ate up this debut. (This is the Modern Mrs Darcy Book Club August 2026 selection.)

From the publisher: "Shannon Sanders’s sparkling debut brings us into the company of the Collins family and their acquaintances as they meet, bicker, compete, celebrate, worry, keep and reveal secrets, build lives and careers, and endure. Moving from Atlantic City to New York to DC, from the 1960s to the 2000s, from law students to drag performers to violinists to matriarchs, Company tells a multifaceted, multigenerational saga in thirteen stories. Each piece includes a moment when a guest arrives at someone’s home. In 'The Good, Good Men,' two brothers reunite to oust a “deadbeat” boyfriend from their mother’s house. In 'The Everest Society,' the brothers’ sister anxiously prepares for a home visit from a social worker before adopting a child. In 'Birds of Paradise,' their aunt, newly promoted to university provost, navigates a minefield of microaggressions at her own welcome party. And in the haunting title story, the provost’s sister finds her solitary life disrupted when her late sister’s daughter comes calling. These are stories about intimacy, societal and familial obligations, and the ways inheritances shape our fates. Buoyant, somber, sharp, and affectionate, this collection announces a remarkable new voice in fiction."
