From the bestselling author of The Home for Unwanted Girls and The
Forgotten Daughter comes a compulsively readable mother-daughter
story in which two women who share a difficult past must come to
together to claim the future they deserve. Arden Moore enjoyed an
affluent life thanks to her husband's high-paying job. But a year
after his death, the 36-year-old is a grieving single mother deeply
in debt and living paycheck to paycheck with her three children.
Then an unexpected call from a well-known estate lawyer in New York
offers a glimmer of hope. It is the beginning of a complex legal
journey that could mean the difference between a life of abject
poverty and unthinkable wealth thanks to her father, deceased
billionaire Wallace Barclay. Thirty years before, Arden's mother
Virginia Bunt, a flirtatious love addict with a string of failed
affairs, met Wallace, an encounter that transformed her life. When
he died unexpectedly without a will, Virginia fought to secure a
comfortable future for her and the secret unborn daughter she
shared with Wallace. Yet despite her best efforts, society and the
legal system prevented her from receiving the money that should
rightfully have been hers. Now, though, with changes in the legal
system and science, her daughter Arden may finally succeed in
claiming the inheritance that has been long denied. Told from both
Arden and Virginia's viewpoints, straddling past and present, and
moving from Toronto to New York City, The Inheritance is a poignant
portrait of familial bonds, haunting pasts, the collateral damage
of life choices, and the promise of hopeful futures as two
venerable women fight for the life they deserve.
