AT THE PINEAPPLE INN

When author, Alycia Elliot learns her surrogate grandmother needs Alycia's help, even the impending deadline for her latest book doesn't stop her from making the trip to Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. It's the least she can do for the woman who has grown to mean so much to her. Alycia learns she's needed far more than she anticipated. Gram Carlisle has been hospitalized, needing heart surgery. The news comes from Gram's handsome lawyer, Ken Maxwell, who also informs her she must take over running Gram's Bed and Breakfast. Ken and his large family offer help that is indispensable, quickly endearing them to her heart. Ken's family is so intertwined with the inn's owner; it comes as a surprise when Alycia learns that if Gram dies, she stands to inherit The Pineapple Inn. Her question, "Why me?" goes unanswered due to Gram's slow recovery, and Ken's code of client-attorney confidentiality. Alycia isn't happy, but knows she has no choice. While she grows closer to the Maxwell family, she begins to unearth clues. In the end, it is a treasured doll, a gift given her from Gram Carlisle when she was a child, that holds the final key to her answer. And that answer shatters her to her very core.
