The pages of these books turn themselves as if this was a light book, there are really a great deal of hard issues being dealt with for newly divorced Maggie Stevens. First of all, she's had to sell her house, and she's out of a job since she worked for her husband's company. Then she receives legal papers that the father that had abandoned her as a baby had died and left his Colorado cabin and gold mine to her. She decides to start her new life by checking out the mystery of her father while she figures out what to do with the rest of her life. Eureka is a very small town if you don't count the tourists, and quirky, to say the least. The whole town knows more about her father than she does, and it isn't always easy learning what she must. There's love, comedy, tragedy and hope spread throughout this book, and I found it to be a very enjoyable and satisfying read. ( )
