ABOUT THE BOOK
When her eccentric Aunt Dot passes away and leaves a sizeable estate to Dorothy, going back home is an easy choice. What isn’t easy is coming to terms with the downright odd clauses written into the will.
Dorothy 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 Dot’s cats.
And if Dorothy thinks that’s odd, wait until she finds out an array of secrets about Aunt Dot's life, and how imperfect circumstances can sometimes lead to God's perfect timing.

My thoughts: When I finished this book my first thoughts were "when does the sequel come out! I can't wait to find out what happens next!" To me this is the ultimate compliment to a writer as they have you so hooked that you are literally hanging in suspense waiting to know what happens! This is one of those books! The professional terms are easy to meet but the personal ones aren't quite so easy, especially when an old flame who broke our main characters heart shows back up! Great book that everyone definitely needs to read! I passed my copy on to another to read so go get your own!
