With high hopes, Daphne Ballinger lands her dream job at The
New York Times. But it's not long until writing about
weddings becomes a painful reminder of her own failed
romance, and her love of the city slowly sours as well. Is
it time to give up the Big Apple for her small hometown of
Appleton?
When her eccentric Aunt Dee passes away and leaves a
sizeable estate to Daphne, going back home is an easy
choice. What isn’t easy is coming to terms with the
downright odd clauses written into the will.
Daphne only stands to inherit the estate if she agrees to
her aunt's very specific posthumous terms -- personal and
professional. And if she fails to comply, the sprawling old
Victorian house shall be bequeathed to . . . Aunt Dee’s cats.
And if Daphne thinks that’s odd, wait until she finds out an
array of secrets about Aunt Dee's life, and how imperfect
circumstances can sometimes lead to God's perfect timing.
