The Great Wherever

A powerful multigenerational saga about inheritance, a family farm, and meddlesome family ghosts. Things are tough for 32-year-old Aubrey: she’s broke, fresh off a break-up, fighting with her sister, and grieving her father’s death. But things start looking up when she learns her father bequeathed her his share of his family’s Tennessee farm. But little does she know, the farm is haunted by four hilarious, opinionated family ghosts who are deeply invested in that property—and, by extension, Aubrey. As Aubrey travels to Tennessee to connect with her father’s family and—to their horror—contemplate selling her share to a developer, the ghosts unspool the history of the land and how they came to haunt it. I ate up this debut. (This is the Modern Mrs Darcy Book Club August 2026 selection.)
