The Inheritance Far From Home

Rate this book
After 25 years of marriage, Barbie Stopford thought she knew everything about her husband. Turns out, Eddie saved his biggest secret for after he died.

When a dusty legal document reveals he left her a hidden estate in Bakewell, England, Barbie does something that shocks everyone, including She books two last-minute tickets and drags her reluctant daughter across the Atlantic.

Florence isn't thrilled—but after a summer she’d rather forget, a spontaneous trip to a storybook English village might be exactly what she needs.

The estate is grand. The locals claim it’s haunted. And the quiet groundskeeper seems to know more about Eddie’s past than Barbie ever did.

As the women uncover clues tucked between cozy garden paths and pints at the village pub, they begin to piece together a version of Eddie neither of them expected. And when Florence finds herself drawn to the groundskeeper’s son (who’s as kind as he is charming), it's a refreshing change from the life she's been pretending to live.

In this strange place, far from home, they both start to wonder if this detour was part of the healing all along.

Some inheritances come with strings attached. This one comes with buried secrets, uncomfortable truths, and the chance to finally stop running from their grief.

This is Book 4 in a brand-new, heartfelt, clean and wholesome series. Scroll up to begin reading today!

The possibly ghostly activity is increasing and Florence is still annoying. Emory seems like a nice character who has unfortunate taste in girls. The family legacy is slowly being revealed and it is not pretty. The writing is moving the story along and has a big cliff hanger at the end of the novella.
