But it's not long until writing about weddings becomes a painful reminder of her own failed romance, and her love of the city slowly sours as well. Is it time to give up the Big Apple for her small hometown of Appleton?
When her eccentric Aunt Dee passes away and
leaves a sizeable estate to Daphne, going back home is an easy choice. What
isn’t easy is coming to terms with the downright odd clauses written into the
will.
Daphne only stands to inherit the estate if
she agrees to her aunt's very specific posthumous terms -- personal and
professional. And if she fails to comply, the sprawling old Victorian house
shall be bequeathed to . . . Aunt Dee’s cats.
And if Daphne thinks that’s odd, wait until
she finds out an array of secrets about Aunt Dee's life, and how imperfect
circumstances can sometimes lead to God's perfect timing.
She also writes many teen books, including the
Diary of a Teenage Girl series, the TrueColors series, and the Carter House
Girls series.
Melody was nominated for a Romantic Times
Career Achievement Award in the inspirational market for her books, including
the Notes from a Spinning Planet series and Finding Alice, which is in
production as a Lifetime Television movie. She and her husband serve on the
Young Life adult committee in central Oregon.
