Life and love have been strained between Rylene Shelton and her partner Kate Elliott. The economy has tanked Ry’s antique store and the pressures of money and being an ER nurse have taken much of the joie out of Kate’s vivre. Hoping to make a few dollars and pay a bill or two, Ry lugs home purchases from an estate sale, realizing too late that she’s picked up a box the seller wanted to keep. That saying about cats and curiosity? When Ry finds a pistol in the box that saying may well come true.

If they want to survive, two women must discover that the real treasures in life aren’t measured in dollar signs in this long awaited novel from treasured storyteller Frankie J. Jones.
