Rosie's Revenge

ROSIE’S REVENGE

When Parker Evans inherits a farm in Iowa from a great-aunt she never knew, she is confronted with a past she knew little about, finds a new home, a grandmother who loves her, unearths the answers to a sixty-year-old mystery, and finds a love directed from beyond the grave.

In order to inherit the farm and all that goes with it, Parker must live in the house for a year: a house with no electricity, running water, or bathroom. While living there she can modernize it, but she can’t move out. Her great-aunt, Rosie, has already selected a handsome contractor, and has drawn up the plans, all Paker has to do is approve them. There is no explanation why Rosie left all this to her instead of her own brothers.

Curious about the family she never knew, Parker decides to stay, at least temporarily, ad is confronted with her hostile grandfather who would do anything to chase her away, and gain control over the land he considers his birthright.

Just walking through the small town proves to be an obstacle course as people step off the sidewalk to avoid her or run off the road as they stare at her. Rumor has it Rosie has come back to haunt them.

The contractor, Shep Baker, is a tall, slow talking cowboy from Texas. Where did he fit into all that was going on? Determined to discover why Rosie left all of this to her, and why she became a tyrant, Parker digs into the family’s history; a history no one wants dug up.

Rosie left behind hundreds of journals, giving some of the answers Parker’s searching for, but she feels certain her grandfather could fill in a lot of the blanks. Would he finally tell what had happened all those years ago?
