About this listen
Every family has its ghosts. For Timothy, they rise up when he becomes executor of his Mom’s estate, the one she insisted would be “easy and kinda fun to manage.” Arriving in Atherton, North Carolina, he learns that the gifts from the grave will not inspire last-minute love. Instead, the Last Will and Testament might fracture the family he has left.
Kirkus Reviews describes Estate as an “oddly enjoyable novel" and rates it a GET IT!
Estate speaks to anyone navigating the unfinished business of family, offering rare understanding, wit, and critical guidance. It is a novel of transitions: between generations, from love to resentment and back again, from a murky past toward a brighter future. Reality fiction at its best. Unflinching, compassionate, demanding, but true.
