Quintessentially the One
About this ebook
A trip back to the small Indiana town of Riverbend to finalize my grandmother’s last will and
testament throws my world off its axis. I wasn’t prepared to learn the stipulations of her will or
that she’d left her beloved mercantile Quintessential Treasures to my college summertime love,
Kandace Sheers.
Imagine my greater surprise when I learn about the secret that’s been roaming Riverbend for the
last five years. Here are a couple of hints:
She’s five years old.
She has her mother’s silky auburn hair and my golden eyes.
The answer should be simple—I take responsibility for the girl and go back to Chicago where
my life awaits.
It turns out, Grandma had other plans because life’s never that simple.
