When it’s time to change your life for the better, everyone could
use a little help. Merry Strand is spinning her wheels in her rural
mountain hometown when Fritz Forth, her late father’s attorney,
suddenly appears with a strange and wonderful proposition. Merry
has a substantial inheritance coming, he says… but it’s
conditional. Merry must accompany Fritz to the Atlantic coast and
complete a series of life-improving tasks to earn her windfall.
Like a fussy fairy godfather, Fritz promises to help Merry, though
he makes it clear that he’d really rather not. Arriving on an
abandoned barrier island in the offseason, Merry meets her
curmudgeonly Uncle Max, who is hoping to steal her inheritance.
Jack Morningstar, a depressed Midwestern widower, numbly occupies
the beach house next door. Added to the mix are a philosophical
dead Englishman, a crazy mountain town radio therapist, a suicidal
software engineer, a matchmaking dog, and, possibly, a ghost. With
empathy and wit, Rachel Michael Arends chronicles the ups and downs
and eventual transformations of her richly drawn characters as they
learn to help each other, and ultimately, to help themselves.
A story revolving around a mixed race family living in Lebanon
during the civil war. Divided by this war and struggling to cope
with their own division from society, they each survive the best
way they knew how.
