One day Rebecca Jane Bell was a nobody-fatherless at birth, motherless at 5, at 19 her foster parents dead in a car crash, with neither kith nor kin, unemployed, a pile of bills falling due. But only days later she was faced with a vast fortune bequeathed to her by Cousin Willy Bell, an eccentric relative she had never known. His bequest came with quirky conditions attached; they required her to sign a contract to live as the salaried tenant and caretaker of the Bell family homestead and to maintain it as Hobo's home so long as his beloved dog lived. Those terms fulfilled, Willy's great wealth would revert to Rebecca. What was not immediately apparent were major challenges that would confront her and Hobo on the Bald Knob homestead. In coping with them she would prove herself a Somebody, a real Bell committed to her lineage and a history of her own, to a family of new friends, and to Andreas, a man of modest means whom she came to love. When Andreas's ethics balked at Rebecca's expectations, she had to resolve one more challenge to her future happiness. Read her story to find out how she did it.
