The restoration of a majestic old home serves as the backdrop for a captivating story of dreams, gifts, and unexpected surprises. Perched on a hill overlooking San Francisco, this magnificent house, built in 1923, has fallen into disrepair. Sarah Anderson, a sensible estate lawyer, finds herself drawn to its empty rooms after an elderly client leaves her a generous inheritance and a powerful message: to use the money for something wonderful and daring. Despite her workaholic nature and a steady but lackluster relationship, Sarah feels compelled to explore the mansion's history, including the story of a woman who once lived there and the drama that unfolded in war-torn France. Taking a significant risk, Sarah enlists architect Jeff Parker, who shares her passion for restoring the house. As they work together, Sarah faces the collapse of one relationship while the potential for another blossoms. Throughout the restoration, she uncovers profound truths about the dying man's last gift, the extraordinary legacies passed down through generations, and a future she is only beginning to envision. In this tale of daring and hope, the author beautifully illustrates one woman's courageous choice to invest herself in a dream and the unexpected rewards that come from embracing life and taking chances.
