Inheriting Edith by Zoe Fishman FIC Fis

This was a great book for a rainy weekend.   Maggie Sheets went to college but turned to cleaning homes because it paid better than sitting in a cubicle.  It's not easy, especially since she is also a single mother to a toddler named Lucy.  One day Maggie is shocked to hear from a lawyer who represented Liza, an author who was one of Maggie's clients.  Over the years they had become friends but had a falling out.  Now the lawyer is telling her that Liza has left Maggie her house in Sag Harbor.  There is a little catch.  The house comes with Edith who is the 82 year old mother of Liza.  She has been diagnosed with dementia.  She is also a strong-willed woman who doesn't want help.

The characters are all likable and believable.  It was an entertaining feel-good book.
