The Deed Box by Pamela Kelt

This is a fun little story. Two sisters don't like their father's mother, at all. Unfortunately for them, their grandmother moves in after their parents die in a car accident. The good side of this is that at 15 and 16 years old, they won't have to live under her thumb for much longer. Shelby, the younger sister, found her escape in marriage. Helen went to college and got her degree. Since her sister never came around, Helen is surprised when Shelby and her husband show up for a visit earlier than expected. What takes place from here is for you to read.

As an introduction to an author, this book is great. Kelt has a lively wit and sense of humor (as well as justice) that shine in the few pages of this story. She has encapsulated everything you need to know about the characters in a way that lets you know who they are without the need of more pages. You know right quick who you like and who you don't. When I reached the end of the story, I was telling (no names to avoid the spoiler) someone, "Yeah, serves you right!" and grinning. I think you'll enjoy this one too.

I was gifted a copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review. 5 stars

This book is available free from Smashwords.
