A practical and sensible person receives an unexpected package that changes her life
Eugenia Lincoln, a no-nonsense woman, receives an unwanted accordion that disrupts her orderly life. Despite her attempts to rid herself of it, the instrument persists, challenging her aversion to frivolity. As she grapples with this musical nuisance, Eugenia faces a surprising question: could embracing the unexpected bring her joy? Discover how a simple package might transform her world.
What will it take for a cynical older sister to realize she’s a born accordion player – with music in her heart? Eugenia Lincoln is a practical person with no time for gee-gaws, whoop-de-whoops, or frivolity. When an unexpected package containing an accordion arrives at her house, she is determined to have nothing to do with it. But her plans to sell the accordion, destroy the accordion, and give the accordion away all end in frustration. How can Eugenia stop being tormented by this troublesome package? Might she discover that a bit of unforeseen frivolity could be surprisingly . . . joyous?
