Terms Of Inheritance
Terms Of Inheritance
Four sisters. A vast fortune. And a mother who thinks she knows best ...
Where there's a will, there's a way.
A funny, moving, brilliantly observed story about letting go of the past.
When multi-millionaire Jacki Turner is forced to take stock of her life, she sets her daughters a challenge—in order to inherit her vast fortune, each must fulfil a task that she believes will push them to become better versions of themselves.
Rose, an exhausted mother of three, must write and publish a children's picture book. Exercise-hater Mel must run the Gold Coast marathon. Isla, the eldest, must figure out who she is beyond her wealth and status, while commitment-phobic Jess must stay in a relationship for longer than three months.
For each, Jacki's terms seem an impossible task, bringing painful wounds to the surface and straining tenuous relationships. But when the sisters are faced with an unexpected turn of events, they must learn how to move forward and forgive, or risk losing it all.
