Who hasn't imagined winning the lottery or coming into an inheritance? Wouldn't
it be great to chuck your old workaday life and live it up somewhere else? At th
e start of Wish Her Safe at Home, Rachel Waring seems to be experiencing a dream
come true: out of nowhere, her great-aunt leaves her a mansion-and she moves in
without delay. Gone is Rachel's administrative job, her mousy wardrobe, her dow
ner of a roommate. From now on she will be a woman of leisure, devoted to beauty
, creativity, and expression.
