Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book begins as a seemingly simple tale of inheritance. After the author, a young lawyer, receives an unexpected letter, he embarks on a journey to claim his inheritance at Hildebrand Hundred, an old Maryland estate. Along the way, he encounters new relatives, including the beautiful Betty Graeme, and the enigmatic John Thaneford. However, upon his arrival, the reading of the will sends shockwaves through the gathered group. The author, a distant cousin, inherits everything, leaving Betty, the adopted daughter of the late owner, with a mere fraction. The author is stunned by his newfound wealth and status, but he is also troubled by the implications of the will. He knows that Betty was always intended to inherit the estate, and he is determined to right what he sees as a wrong. As he delves deeper into the history of the Hildebrand family, he uncovers a web of secrets and rivalries that stretch back generations. This book is a fascinating exploration of family, inheritance, and the power of the past. It is a story that will resonate with anyone who has ever wondered about their own place in the world.
