Not at all what his mother envisioned.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs a child, Brandon's con-artist mother raised him to be a criminal prodigy. But when he was twelve a robbery went bad, a gun went off, and Brandon's mother disappeared, never to return. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLeft all alone, Brandon burned with anger. And questions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat happened that night? Why did his mom leave him behind? And why didn't she ever come back? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow he works a monotonous 9-5, pining for the girfriend who dumped him.

Part mother\/son crime drama, part heist novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Things She Stole\u003c\/i\u003e reminded me of Ben Affleck's movie, \u003ci\u003eThe Town\u003c\/i\u003e.
