A convincing and oddly enjoyable novel about an unenviable and convoluted legal process... Shelley proves himself to be an exceptional novelist...-Kirkus Reviews, Get It!
Every family has its ghosts. For Timothy they come alive when he becomes executor of the estate his Mom insisted would be easy and kinda fund to manage. Within days of arriving in Atherton, North Carolina, it becomes clear that the gifts from the grave will not inspire last-minute love. Instead, the Last Will and Testament might fracture the family he has left.
2025 Honorable Mention Book, New York Book Festival
Estate speaks to anyone navigating the unfinished business of family. It is a novel of transitions: between generations, from love to resentment and back again, from a murky past toward a brighter future. Reality fiction at its best: unflinching, compassionate, demanding, and true.
