Synopsis
Queen for a day, or forever? A department store clerk discovers a real kingdom far from Waloo—and learns what truly makes a life shine.
In this tale of unexpected fortune, Tessie Gilfooly, a thoughtful but discontented shopgirl, learns that a sudden inheritance can change more than wealth. A stranger’s visit hints at a magical world beyond Minnesota and Waloo, where a queen’s crown might rest on courage, kindness, and love. As Tessie’s dreams collide with reality, family, friends, and a determined Granny help her weigh what really matters.
With humor and warmth, the story follows Tessie as she navigates a wild premise, the curious Sunshine Islands, and a romance that might redefine her future. It blends hopeful fantasy with the everyday courage of ordinary people who choose to do the right thing when the world tilts on its hinge.
- Meet Tessie, a shopgirl who discovers a kingdom and a calling beyond her day job.
