The Inheritance by JoAnn Ross

-

The Inheritance will be published next week on September 7th. I was lucky enough to be invited on the blog tour for this book and receive an ARC from the publisher HQN books. This is my first book by JoAnn Ross and it was one I was excited to read. The story is about three women who discover they are sisters when their father, Jackson Swann dies from lung cancer. Jackson left his daughters inheritance in his will but the stipulation is they have to come to his vineyard in Oregon for the reading of the will. Despite the reluctance, all three sisters agree to go to Oregon and meet for the first time.


The cover drew me into this book but to be honest, it took me quite a bit of the book to understand how the cover fit. The first half of the book is about the three sisters, their background, things they are dealing with in their lives, their relationship (or non relationship) with their father. Once the will is read and the sisters know what their inheritance is, the book changes to focus on the vineyard and its history. There were many times reading this book and seeing how much was left, that I thought a sequel would be perfect as I would love to read more about the sisters and the vineyard.

Welcome to my stop on The Children’s Book Review in partnership with Catherine Rose for her book, Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection. About the Book: Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection tells a story of the magic created when the unique talents of a diverse group of children are shared in a colorful adventure. The adventure begins when we see through a boy’s window to find a young trombonist pausing his practice to wonder if other musical voices exist. When an alluring treble note wafts through his window, he begins an excited quest to find the answer. Playing his horn through his neighborhood, the boy draws other curious children to play their unique instruments along with him. Together, they played: “Lend your voice, play your part! Something grand is beginning― join us for the start!” The procession of music makers is touched with magic when their combined voices, raised in harmony, orchestrate a colorful miracle. The ease of poetry and vibrant il

Thank you to Rachel’s Random Resources for putting together this virtual book tour! About the Book: For Iris , each visit to her mother in St Mabon’s Cove, Cornwall has been the same – a serene escape from the city. But today, as she breathes in the salt air on the doorstep of her beloved childhood home, a heavy weight of anticipation settles over her. Iris knows she’s adopted, but any questions about where she came from have always been shut down by her parents, who can’t bear to revisit the past. Now, Iris can’t stop thinking about what she’s read on the official paperwork: BABY GIRL, FRANCE, 1939 – the year war was declared with Nazi Germany. When Iris confronts her mother, she hits the same wall of pain and resistance as whenever she mentions the war. That is, until her mother tearfully hands her an old tin of letters, tucked neatly beside a delicate piece of ivory wool. Retreating to the loft, Iris steels herself to at last learn the truth, however painful it might be. Bu

Four years after Bryce’s cheating husband is gunned down, her boyfriend-stealing former roommate’s remains are found buried under a statue at her alma mater. Declared the prime suspect by both detectives and the media, Bryce has no choice but to hire someone to clear her name. Enter Sam MacKade, private eye. To solve two murders, the former police K-9 officer and his canine partners must sift through the clues and the lies to reveal the true  prime suspect .

The book opens with a cast or character (in order of appearance) that is super handy to reference back to (plus for physical books!) when you are learning the characte
