Allie, Des, and Cara, each having her own reasons for
wanting a share of their father's estate, meet in the grand
Victorian home in which he grew up, only to be greeted by
another secret he purposely hid from them: his sister
Bonnie. The women reluctantly band together to take on
Fritz's challenge, working with a local contractor to begin
the renovations financed by an account Fritz had set up for
the task. While the restoration appears to go smoothly at
first, it soon becomes apparent that the work will be more
extensive than originally thought, and Des, elected to
handle the money, needs to find ways to stretch out the
remaining savings while searching for new sources of funding.
As strangers linked only by their DNA try to become a
family, the Hudson sisters also try to come to terms with
the father they only thought they knew. In the process, each
woman discovers her own capacity for understanding,
forgiveness, love, and the true meaning of family.
I liked the review. Just finished reading the book myself. I also read the first one. Mariah Stewart does a wonderful job telling a story! (Kathryn Riley 8:01pm July 8, 2018)
