Where There's a Will, There's a Way
by Susan Charney


When Barbara Ruby’s estranged uncle Stanley dies unexpectedly, she isn’t exactly grief stricken. Explosive and violent, Stanley alienated his family years ago at an infamous Christmas dinner—or, as Barbara calls it, “The Unholy Night.” Yet, when Barbara finds out that her rich uncle died without a will, and she may be the only beneficiary, she feels like she won the lottery. Little does she realize that what she believes is good fortune is the beginning of her life unravelling. Barbara pays a visit to her uncle's bed and breakfast, and comes face to face with a potentially deadly surprise. As the battle for Stanley’s estate grows ever more chaotic, Barbara learns that inheritance is never just about money. Even if she gets the lavish life she always wanted, what will she lose along the way?
