As the daughter of an unwed mother, Felicity Percival is accustomed to rejection. Her mother was her only family...until she is summoned to the reading of her father's will. To learn he was a married preacher with a second daughter horrifies her. Having a half-sister she doesn't want appalls her. The stipulations attached to her inheritance infuriate her.

The Tea Room is plenty large, but the grocery emporium must stockpile adequate winter supplies before winter's blizzards close off the high mountain valley.
