Book excerpt: You can pick your friends, but not your family is the motto that estranged sisters Jessie and Nicole have lived by for most of their adult lives. And until now, it seemed to be working out just fine with the Atlantic Ocean keeping a safe distance between them.When their mother dies and her attorney reads the will, the sisters are handed some surprises, not the least of which is finding that Mom had millions tucked away - and they are about to inherit every penny of it.However that vast ocean will shrink to just a few steps down the hall when the sisters find out what their Mom's last wish was - and it was nothing that the sisters had in their daily planners. Yup, Moms are like that. Always gotta have the last word. To gain their inheritance, the sisters must move in together for a year and get to know each other. Easy enough, but Mom's not finished yet. She wants her daughters to learn a few "life lessons" during that year. Things she forgot to teach them while she was alive. And the truth is, its way more fun to watch this kind of stuff when your dead and you have nothing to do anyway. Armed with a manila envelope of letters left by their late Mother, along with the recipe for the best peach martinis in all of South Carolina, the sisters agree to do just that. Get to know each other. As sisters. Reluctantly, they move into their late Grandmother's beach house on Pawley's Island for one year to learn to be sisters. For Mom....and for the eight million they're about to inherit. As they try to adapt to their new lives, Jessie and Nicole find out more secrets about their mother - and about each other. As they open a new envelope each month, they say a silent prayer of thanks for that peach martini recipe. Can Nicole give up her luxurious London life to stay in a tiny beach house for a year? Can Jessica keep from throwing her sister off the balcony every time Nicole turns into a drama queen?And can either of them figure out what in the hell their mother was thinking when she left them a package of little white envelopes that will send them doing everything from searching for their inner goddess to camping in the woods.
