Introduction

When Hollywood agent Fritz Hudson passes away suddenly, two families who never knew the other existed get a big shock. Allie and Des Hudson were born to Fritz and his first wife, Honora. As that marriage unraveled, Fritz fell in love with Susa, and a daughter, Cara, was born. Somehow, Fritz never got around to coming clean to either family about the other.

With Fritz gone, his three unsuspecting daughters are brought together for the reading of his will. A large inheritance will be theirs if they comply with the terms of their father’s will: move to Fritz’s family home in Pennsylvania’s Pocono mountains, and work together to restore a run-down Art Deco theater built by their great-grandfather. Can they put their differences aside and rise to the challenge, and in the end, become at the very least, friends, if not sisters?
