Life at 38 doesn’t need to be exciting, right?
Beth Schiff ghostwrites autobiographies for politicians, despite her own life not
warranting a footnote. Excitement for her is re-watching classic movies with a
Whitman’s Sampler. But when her adventurous Aunt Ethel dies, Beth must scramble
out of her comfy sweatpants and into some Spanx to find the missing will aboard a
luxury cruise ship.
Figuring out which fork to use at dinner becomes the least of Beth’s worries. The will
isn’t lost … it’s hidden. Aunt Ethel has devised an elaborate scavenger hunt, and each
port stop forces Beth to confront her list of insecurities to get the next clue. If she fails,
Ethel’s millions will revert to a much-hated relative, Max, who is responsible for her
dismantled family.
When someone starts trying to sabotage her search, the game becomes personal and
her energetic septuagenarian tablemates rally to help. But Beth must make the puzzle
pieces fit before the cruise ends or Max will get his greedy hands on the money
destined for charities.
For fans of The Bookish Life of Nina Hill and The Jetsetters, comes a heartfelt story
about an unintended quest for self-discovery, forgiveness, and an awesome buffet.
