Publisher Description
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.

Lock, Stock, and Over a Barrel
I enjoyed Ms Carlson writing. Her characters are real. I’m most intrigued by the story continuing and causes me a desire to read more of her novels.
Unfinished
I like the style and goodness of the authors characters, I liked the book until I got to the end! I don't often read sequels as I don't have time! In ending this book I felt cheated! This is like a soap opera where the writers want you to continue the sequence and leave you feeling unfinished! No closure! I will not read more by this author! Too bad as she has a nice style of writing!

This book did not please me at all. I like closure to a book, not to be left hanging. I will not buy any books by melody Carlson. I give it a half star. It had potentials to be a good book, but wasn't.
