Quiet Blessings

The world wanted to make him a King. He just wanted to be a neighbor. Leo Granger's life was measured in small, reliable increments: the heat of a morning toaster, the grit of a worn broom handle, and the predictable shadows of the Maplewood Arms. But when a chance coin flip turns into a forty-million-dollar lottery win, the "Quiet Blessings" of Leo's world are threatened by the roar of sudden fame.
While his estranged mother, Maryanne, arrives with plans to trade his peace for a palace of silk and taupe, Leo's true allies-a weary journalist, a gruff handyman, and a gardener who sees the soul in the soil-begin to build a fortress of silence around him."Quiet Blessings" is a heartwarming exploration of what happens when the loudest fortune in the world meets the quietest man in the room. It is a story for anyone who knows that the greatest wealth isn't what we collect, but what we have the courage to keep.
