After the death of her father, George, Beckett is shocked to find that she does not own her family home and business. Instead, her father arraigned that she would share ownership with a stranger. The woman, Callie, is just as surprised because she had never heard of Beckett or George.
As the two women attempt to understand why this happened, they both try to continue their lives. But the two also deal with the brokenness each of them suffer due to the childhood abandonment by their respective mothers.
Beckett has coped by developing Agoraphobia which keeps her trapped on the farm. Because of it, she has an unnatural fear of leaving, and has severe panic attacks if she does. Callie copes by trying to solve everyone’s problems. She will try to fix it, often at her own expense, often leaving her in dire circumstances.
Beckett views Callie as an opportunist who doesn’t deserve half of everything, especially considering what she wants to do with it. Callie wants to solve the mystery of why George included her in the trust before she makes a final decision about what will become of her share.
This clean story will keep you reading to find out what happens next. A little girl, Fern, befriends Beckett and adds a sweet, and sometime comical, dimension to the tale. Before the story ends, dangerous circumstances will take place that will possibly kill them, and a secret will come to light about both of them.
I recommend this five-star book to fans of modern, real-life stories, mysteries, and well-written tales.
