Product: The Inheritance: An Inlet Beach Novel If you like the Gilmore Girls' Stars Hollow, you'll love Inlet Beach.

When three sisters arrive to claim the oldest house in town for themselves, you can bet the residents of this tiny beach community will have something to say about it.

For the sisters, it started with a letter stating they've inherited an equal share of a dilapidated beach house from a relative they don't remember. Complications arise when each sister wants something different from their unexpected gain. But before they can do anything, they have to spend the summer together, repairing the house.

The Inheritance is filled with the quirkiness of a small town, the craziness of an imperfect family, and the hope of a second chance.

At least that’s what Joanna Rutledge Reed thought. At eighteen, she left her family’s ancestral home in Charleston, South Carolina, despite promising to stay. For years, she did whatever she wanted, barely giving her family back home a second thought. But a string of bad decisions results in heartbreak, forcing her to return, her life in tatters.

She's got problems of her own that no one seems to notice or care about. When Joanna arrives unexpectedly, Marcy bristles at the intrusion, suspicious of her sister’s motives.

As Joanna picks up the threads of her old life, she discovers things are not what they appear to be. Painful memories and hidden secrets resurface, leading Joanna to question everything she thought she knew about her family.

Set against the rich tapestry of Charleston, South Carolina, three generations of strong Southern women share a history and not-quite-forgotten secrets. Will the bonds they forged years ago be strong enough to give them a second chance at being a family?
