| Summary |
Maggie Stevens's husband, Carter, has provided her with all the unexpected revelations she can handle. He told her that he didn't love her anymore, and as if that wasn't enough, that he had a new love. So when an envelope from an attorney arrives, Maggie is not looking forward to another surprise. Jacob Charles Murphy has died and has left his daughter, Maggie, a gold mine. Maggie has never really known her father, but this seems to be some unexpected good fortune. Since Maggie can't think of one good reason why she should stay in Houston, she travels to the small town of Eureka, Colorado, where she hopes to solve the mystery of the man who abandoned his family when Maggie was three. In Eureka, Maggie meets people who touch her life in different ways: bitter librarian Cassie Wynock, town mayor Lucille Theriot, and James Clark, whose love-hate relationship with her father intrigues her. As Maggie confronts the sins of her father and the mistakes of her own past she learns to look at life differently and discovers it can take a village-- or even one small mountain town-- to heal a heart. |
