Description
Just as Bobby was pulling away from the loading dock with his pickup full of supplies, he noticed the old lady’s crumpled form sprawled on the sidewalk across the street. Bobby Parker was not prepared to interrupt his busy Saturday plans to rescue eighty-year-old Emma Manchester from a slushy fall that early March morning. Changing his plans for the day led to monumental changes in the young carpenter’s life, as well as in many others’. While repairing Emma’s decrepit house, Bobby befriended the elderly woman. During their time together, Emma trusted Bobby to solve the mystery involving her husband’s, Thomas Manchester’s, will, and the usually secretive Bobby allowed Emma to advise him to seek solutions to long-standing problems with his dysfunctional family.
