Synopsis

“Moving… This engrossing and hopeful story will hold readers from start to finish.”—Publishers Weekly

“Family secrets, complex characters and a glorious setting make The Inheritance a rich, compelling read...JoAnn Ross at her best!” —Sherryl Woods, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sweet Magnolias series

With a dramatic wartime love story woven through, JoAnn Ross's long-awaited new novel is a gorgeous generational saga about the rivalry, history and loyalty that bond sisters together

When conflict photographer Jackson Swann dies, he leaves behind a conflict of his own making when his three daughters, each born to a different mother, discover that they’re now responsible for the family’s Oregon vineyard—and for a family they didn’t ask for.

After a successful career as a child TV star, Tess is, for the first time, suffering from a serious identity crisis, and grieving for the absent father she’s resented all her life.

Charlotte, brought up to be a proper Southern wife, gave up her own career to support her husband's political ambitions. On the worst day of her life, she discovers her beloved father has died, she has two sisters she never knew about and her husband has fallen in love with another woman.

Natalie, daughter of Jack’s longtime mistress, has always known about her half sisters, and has dreaded the day when Tess and Charlotte find out she’s the daughter their father kept.

As the sisters reluctantly gather at the vineyard, they’re soon enchanted by the Swann family matriarch and namesake of Maison de Madeleine wines, whose stories of bravery in WWII France and love for a wounded American soldier will reveal the family legacy they've each inherited and change the course of all their lives.

Goodreads review by WhiskeyintheJar on September 06, 2021

4.3 stars I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. There would be no dramatic scenes with his three daughters---all now grown women with lives of their own---hovering over his deathbed. Famous conflict......more

Goodreads review by Wendy on June 06, 2021

The Inheritance by JoAnn Ross is a fascinating dual timeline story that focuses on a French Resistance worker, and an American Forces Pilot in the World War II timeline, and three half-sisters, and their grandmother in the present-day timeline. Tess, a novelist and former child actress, Charlotte, a......more

Goodreads review by Dale on July 04, 2022

When conflict photographer Jackson Swann dies, he leaves behind an inheritance and plenty of secrets from his life. That includes his three daughters, all by different mothers. Three daughters who have never met, or in two cases even known about each other. Until they find themselves called to Orego......more

Goodreads review by Missy on June 20, 2021

Well, I didn't realize I was requesting a Harlequin-style romance when I asked for access to The Inheritance, but that's what it turned into, in the end. The action is primarily dialogue-driven. No characters or scenes are particularly well-developed, not even the WWII spy activity. The 90+ year old......more

Labai patiko: pradedant labai gražiu knygos viršeliu, baigiant gražia šeimos istorija. Įtraukė nuo pirmų puslapių ir nebepaleido iki paskutinio.......more
