Description
Eighteen-year old Jordy was on the verge of graduation, and his future prospects didn’t look good. Saddled with part of the emotional and financial responsibilities for his dysfunctional family, he had given up his dreams of attending University until his Grandma’s death changed his life. Grandma’s lack of interest in her family and her general meanness had alienated most of her descendants. Only Jordy visited her on a regular basis, prompted by feelings of compassion. Consequently, when she passed on, he was named the sole inheritor of her apparently meager estate. With only a week to dispose of her possessions before the house was scheduled for demolition, he had to cancel a long-anticipated vacation and enlist the aid of his girlfriend in arranging the funeral and burial, and clear out her belongings. The treasures discovered in Grandma’s attic put Jordy’s life in danger from local gangsters, brought him under investigation by the Feds and profoundly affected the lives of his family.
