An engaging and creative story filled with tremendous challenges, and of never giving up even in your twilight years.
In 1975, Misty Menard, a newly retired woman living in Washington DC, is called home to Lake Placid upon her father's death. Misty is shocked to discover that she has inherited the struggling Adirondack Dowel and Spindle Company, making her owner and CEO. She's torn on whether to personally nurture the struggling business her father loved, or sell it as soon as possible and return to her comfortable life in the city.
Misty soon discovers trouble simmers all around her. A former classmate holds on to a long-standing resentment. Managers at her father's company want her to pack up and leave. Friends and family in Lake Placid have secrets of their own. What Misty decides to do could not only make or break the company, but jeopardize her life.
"This book has a unique and creative premise, utilizing a female protagonist who is nearly seventy years old, yet smart and tough enough to tackle any difficulty that comes her way. Conflicts are introduced early on and multiply as the story progresses, which keeps the reader engaged and curious about what will happen next. I learned a lot about the concept of Employee Stock Ownership Plans, and found it most refreshing to read a story that features a conflicted yet capable woman "of a certain age."" - Pat Wahler, author of The Rose of Washington Square
