Publishers Description: Now thats the way to bury your old man ... he sank into his Jason recliner, wincing. A a body wrapped in handwoven cloth, women dancing and wailing. Too much, in Toms opinion, but at least they were mourning. To hell with that, at least they showed up. Tom Edwards is dying, and cranky. Hes made his peace with the dying part. But hed bet his property - the whole ten thousand acres of it - that thered be no wailing at his funeral. His kids wouldnt be able to chop down a tree, let alone build a coffin to bury him in. Then Tom has an idea ... Christine is furious, David ashen-faced, and Sophie distracted. Only Jenny listens carefully as Vince Barton, of Barton & Sons, reads their fathers will. Either they build his coffin - in four days - or they lose their inheritance. All of it.A perceptive and unforgettable debut novel, The Deed explores the messy, sometimes volatile, complications that only the best and worst of family can bring. Sometimes greed can be good.
