A Chance Inheritance

By: Carolyn Brown

Narrated by: Brittany Pressley

Three women return home in search of second chances in this heartwarming short story from New York Times best-selling author Carolyn Brown.

What do a runaway bride, a free spirit, and a corporate exec have in common? Besides all being down on their luck, Lainie, Jodi, and Becky are Lizzie Cornell's granddaughters. Upon inheriting their grandmother's home and family bait shop, the three cousins return to Catfish, Texas, grieving Lizzie's passing and hoping to find the fresh start they all need.

Turns out cohabitating together and running the Catfish Fisherman's Hut isn't at all like the idyllic summers they spent as children on the banks of the Red River. The days are long and hot, the tourists demanding and rude. And then there's Chris, a local river guide who seems to have eyes only for Becky.

But Lizzie's death has set in motion a chain of events that will cause a new generation of Cornell women to come together. And thanks to this chance inheritance, some local fishermen, and the love of their Granny Lizzie, the Cornell cousins discover that sometimes an ending is really the beginning of a brand-new happily ever after.

A Chance Inheritance

I absolutely love this audible!!! I just want more of their story! What about the other two cousins. For a short story Carolyn Brown put a lot of lovely story into it.

Great listen and perfect narration

This book was so enjoyable; the narration was spot on and it took me away to the small town of Catfish through the character voices and scene descriptions. Perfect short story to escape into another time and place! Thanks Audible Studios, Carolyn Brown, and Brittany Presley for this outstanding performance!

Short story that is satisfying.

I’m not big on short stories, they seem to leave too much undone, but this was pretty complete.

Narrator did good job, but the girl’s voices could have been better.

All in all, a good audio book.

Relatable

A story we all can relate to in some way. The loss of a loved one or an old love rekindled. A feel good story. Thank you

Where is the rest?

I understand this is a novella, but it has a very abrupt ending that leaves one wanting to know what happens next. Ugh! Frustrating! If one enjoys feeling a story line is complete, do not read A Chance Inheritance. What is there is entertaining, but it is like Brown became tired of writing or needed to meet a deadline and just stopped writing the story abruptly.
