About

A letter read out on your 18th birthday changes everything: you and your twin sister Emma turn out to have inherited something unusual from your late father, a Heritage in more than name, and word of it doesn't stay in the family. The tone leans on that joke without letting go of it.

The setup gives the family a reason to get tangled up in each other's business while outsiders start circling for a piece of what you've got. From there it plays out as a kinetic novel, so you read through the fallout with your mother, sister, and whoever else the letter drags into the story rather than steering it.
