Product DescriptionYour Heart's Desire . . . A Mixed Blessing?The stunning news of a surprise bequest stops the aging Doris Lochschmidt and her adult sons, Doug and Dirk, in their tracks. For the two brothers, the gift opens worlds of possibilities. But Doris is not so sure. She's already dealing with the raw grief of fresh loss and the nagging ache of an emotional bruise caused by a family rift. She's not certain she can handle one more family crisis that is bound to change their lives.Like its predecessor, Some Good Memory, the gentle yet saucy Windfall focuses on the strain that unexpected challenges can cause. The small midwestern town of Rockwell again furnishes a landscape sprinkled with memorable characters who confront real issues that provide humor and food for thought. First-time readers will savor their introduction to the residents of Rockwell-and those who met the resilient Doris and her family in Some Good Memory will be grateful for the return trip.About the AuthorJo Hershberger is a journalist, wife, and mother of four. She maintains that her family, her friends-and even her characters--have taught her valuable lessons in getting the most out of life.
