Product Description From New York Times bestselling author Mariah Stewart comes more "catnip for women's fiction fans" ( Booklist) in the second novel of the Hudson Sisters series. Allie, Des, and Cara, each having her own reasons for wanting a share of their father's estate, meet in the grand Victorian home in which he grew up, only to be greeted by another secret he purposely hid from them: his sister Bonnie. The women reluctantly band together to take on Fritz's challenge, working with a local contractor to begin the renovations financed by an account Fritz had set up for the task. While the restoration appears to go smoothly at first, it soon becomes apparent that the work will be more extensive than originally thought, and Des, elected to handle the money, needs to find ways to stretch out the remaining savings while searching for new sources of funding. As strangers linked only by their DNA try to become a family, the Hudson sisters also try to come to terms with the father they only thought they knew. In the process, each woman discovers her own capacity for understanding, forgiveness, love, and the true meaning of family.

The Sugarhouse Blues CHAPTER ONE Desdemona Hudson stood in the lobby of the old Art Deco theater in Hidden Falls, Pennsylvania, and raised her eyes to the water-damaged domed ceiling. Flares of color—red, gold, green—shot out overhead in geometric patterns from the elaborate crystal chandelier that hung from the center of a large plaster medallion. “I’m sure the roofers had insurance. I remember seeing a certificate with the contract.” Des couldn’t take her eyes off the disaster. “Damn it. We finally got our new roof, and the first big wind to come along takes some of it.” Joe Domanski, the contractor who’d been hired to oversee the renovation of the Sugarhouse Theater, stood with his hands on his hips, a look of resignation on his suntanned face. “This isn’t their fault, Des, and this wasn’t just a ‘big wind.’ This was a massive storm with hurricane-strength winds, a hundred-year storm. It’s what you’d call an act of God, and I don’t know of any insurance policy that doesn’t exclude those.” “You called the roofers?” “Called them before I called you. They should be here within the hour to check out the damage and make some temporary repairs in case we get more rain before they can replace the missing shingles.” Des nodded slowly. There was nothing she could say to Joe that he wasn’t thinking himself. How much was this going to cost? How long will this delay the renovations? She was pretty sure the roof itself could be repaired, and maybe Joe could talk the roofers into replacing those missing shingles for free as sort of a goodwill gesture. The real problem was going to be restoring the intricate and decorative painting on the damaged ceiling. A shard of plaster drifted downward, stuck in her auburn curls, and dangled over her forehead. She swatted it away and frowned at the patches of color that had scattered onto the floor. “Crap,” she muttered. She wiped sweat from her forehead with a tissue she’d pulled out of her bag. The air inside the theater was stifling and hot. “I’ll do what I can,” Joe told her. “Just . . .” Des sighed. “Get me the estimate and let me know how long it will take to fix it.” She whistled, and a white flash darted out from the audience seats and ran u
