Maura Kincannon's heart was as big as the sky...and she gave it to Quinn Foster. Quinn came, hungry and homeless to her garden one day. Maura saw Quinn steal her tomatoes, invited her for breakfast and then asked her to live with her.

Now, two years later, the elderly Maura has very little time left. But before she dies, she intends to give Quinn the most important thing she's ever owned. So just before her death, Maura celebrates Quinn's birthday by giving her an antique trunk and its contents-a trunk she doesn't want to fall into the hands of her spoiled and selfish grandchildren.

It is only after Maura's death that Quinn discovers the trunk's contents and realizes that she would have a security she hadn't known in years. But there are people who want the trunk. Maura's granddaughter Betty will stop at nothing to gain custody of it. And Quinn's brother, Carlton intends on stealing more from Quinn than just her college fund. And who is the other strange man following Quinn and why?

Maura's Trunk is a fast-paced, feel-good novel about an eighteen-year-old with few options until a trunk enters her life. How exciting to receive a surprise gift and realize upon opening it that everything you had been denied in the past would be available to you.
