By the time illness arrives, the preparation is already done. That's the real secret. Not that the Pennsylvania Dutch never get sick. It's when they do, their bodies are already fortified and their shelves are already stocked. The ...

Jacobia Tiptree saved her sanity - and her son, Sam - the day she abandoned Wall Street for the seacoast village of Eastport, Maine. In her new home, a charmingly dilapidated fixer-upper, she looks forward to repairing old radiators and restoring antique shutters for years to come.

Everyone is convinced the old busybody bolted out of town to escape her creditor - everyone except Jake and her best friend, Ellie, who suspect otherwise.
