Gracie was raised by her relatives after her mother disappeared when she was small. She never knew who her father was. She was raised poor, but with love. Her “aunt” is in despair as Gracie is now 25 with no marriage prospects on the horizon. She has a quiet little job, leads a quiet little life and also veers more toward the tomboy side of life. She feels content.
Her entire world blows apart when a stranger shows up at the door. A good looking stranger from Connecticut who comes bearing some interesting news. Apparently she was never her mysterious mother’s child. She was a kidnapped child of a very rich man who’s now passed on and left her a fortune. People are suddenly fawning over the quiet small town girl and relatives she's never known are pouring out of the cracks looking for handouts.
She feels her life is coming apart. She has no real parents that she ever knew, she was raised by strangers after being stolen, she’s rich, and suddenly desirable when she never was even looked at twice before…………… and she feels she wants nothing but her old life back.
A story of what happens when a life suddenly turns upside down. Does money make everything rosier………….. or not?
