A Legacy of Secrets: When Life Takes an Unexpected Turn in France After her husband's sudden death, Merle Bennett is left to navigate grief, legal complications, and shocking revelations. As a lawyer with four sisters in the same profession, she thought she was prepared for anything—until she discovered what his will contained. Among the surprises: a mysterious cottage in France that no one knew existed. With her son's future hanging in the balance, Merle has no choice but to take matters into her own hands. With determination and sisterly support, she decides to travel to southwest France and transform the derelict stone cottage. What awaits her in the picturesque Dordogne village is both enchanting and unsettling—breathtaking landscapes and exquisite wines alongside unpsetting discoveries: an unwelcome squatter, a foreboding wine cellar, hostile locals, and a mysterious deadly accident that raises more questions than answers. Armed with nothing but her legal expertise and meticulous list-making skills, she finds herself solving problems she never asked for in a country where she doesn't belong. Yet something about this place—and a certain charming local roofer—suggests that perhaps this unexpected detour might be exactly the path forward she needs. Author - Lise McClendon.
