Homeless. Broke. Shunned by friends and neighbours. This was not what sixty-two was supposed to look like for Barbara Baker.

As a member of Toronto’s exclusive Rosedale society, Barb was a fixture on charity committees and an accomplished hostess whose dinner invitations were coveted by Toronto’s elite. Her comfortable life ended when her husband’s criminal activity was discovered—he’d been stealing from everyone for decades, using her exceptional hostess skills to reel in new victims.

No one believed Barb wasn’t in on the scam. No one except her childhood friend, Kat.

To repay Kat for her generosity, Barb offered her gift-wrapping skills for Kat’s booth at the local Christmas craft shows. And that’s when things started to get weird. Weird in a way that might give Barb a chance to right some of her husband’s wrongs. A chance she has to take, no matter how odd.
