Anxious People: A Novel blends dark humour, sharp observation, and emotional warmth in a story that begins with a failed bank robbery and an apartment open house gone wrong. A would-be robber storms into a viewing and suddenly a random group of strangers find themselves trapped together as hostages.

Among them are a retired couple obsessed with fixer-upper homes but unable to repair their own marriage, a driven bank director who has neglected those around her, and a young couple on the verge of parenthood who cannot agree on anything. They are joined by an eighty-seven-year-old woman who refuses to be intimidated, a flustered real estate agent desperate to close the deal, and a silent man who has locked himself in the bathroom.

Each character arrives carrying old hurts, secrets, and disappointments that are far more dangerous than any weapon. As police and media close in, the captives and the would-be criminal are pushed to confront who they really are and what they most need from one another.

This character-driven novel explores the messy reality of being human with wit and compassion, celebrating the quiet power of connection, forgiveness, and unexpected second chances.
