The Visitor

by C. D'Angelo

Overview

Fiercely independent Mary Pontrelli is blindsided when the New Orleans building housing her New Age store and upstairs apartment is listed for sale. Worse yet, a developer wants to destroy it and her high school ex-boyfriend—ahem, nemesis—is leading their charge. But this budding sweet spot for that weasel from the past can't happen since traitors never change. 

 

The best chance Mary has to save her cherished French Quarter building is to join forces with the other business owners whose livelihoods are also at risk. Too bad she avoids teamwork at all costs. Thankfully, a mystical new customer who shares Mary's lost Italian heritage may be able to help alter her stubborn patterns. And, learning about the city's history and her own Sicilian roots from the shopper may prove beyond merely engaging.

 

Even so, acquiring trust in strangers and accepting assistance requires more bravery than any societal expectation she's challenged in her life. But if she doesn't depend on her community and learn forgiveness, she may lose her career, home, and deeper relationships. No eccentric spirituality or heritage lessons can fix this…right?
