Can she even do that? Turns out she can, if she puts it in a Trust. Cleah has done her homework, to her kids' dismay. It feels like she's thought of everything, and it tests their resolve, their cooperation, and even their sanity.The author of The Runestone's Promise returns with a novel about the challenges and shortcomings of regular people forced to navigate the complexities of a dysfunctional family relationship, set against the busy pace of modern life.
