“When the sun goes down on my life, you’ll all come apart like ripped balloons.”
When stingy self-made millionaire and widower Leon Farrell dies, he leaves behind a legacy of family dysfunction—and a missing will. It’s soon clear that his three grown children, Edgar, Gunther, and Shirley, don’t handle loss well—the possible loss of a fortune, that is. And when Edgar hires a private investigator to track down the will, it’s just the beginning of a search that will lead the siblings to re-visit their childhoods, uncover buried secrets, and ultimately learn for themselves what it means to be a family…
Praise for the Novels of Gwynne Forster
“Wise and wonderful as it points out, once again, the importance of honesty and appreciating what you have while you have it.” —Publishers Weekly on A Different Kind of Blues
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
After Maryland millionaire Leon Farrell dies in Forster's absorbing sequel to 2004's If You Walked in My Shoes, his adult children Gunther, a software game developer who's suffering from a bad strain of the flu; Shirley, a cruise line PR director; and Edgar, a guitarist with a gambling addiction learn that Leon hid his will. Together they hire a PI to find the will, and Frieda Davis, a licensed practical nurse and one of the most compelling characters from Forster's previous tale, to care for Gunther. Frieda has tracked down her birth mother, Coreen Treadwell, whom she blames for the suffering she endured at the hands of her adoptive father. Intent on revenge until learning that Coreen is severely ill, Frieda chooses peace over vengeance, volunteering to donate the bone marrow her mother needs. Meanwhile, romance blooms between Shirley and the investigator, and between Frieda and Gunther, while Edgar schemes to get his portion of the inheritance before everyone else. This absorbing soaper works fine as a standalone, but readers familiar with the first installment will appreciate it most.
