Lost and Found Sisters by Jill Shalvis Wildstone series #1. Contemporary romance, chick lit. Quinn Weller’s life takes a dramatic turn when a lawyer tells her about a mysterious inheritance.

It’s heartwarming and tender and makes me think I need to go out and make more meaningful connections. Some laughs, some tears, new friendships and love. Contentment.
