Description

In the quiet Pennsylvania town of New Munich, the Leitzel sisters have spent decades steering every aspect of their brother Daniel’s life. Their orderly world is jolted when a newspaper headline announces his unexpected betrothal, thrusting the sisters into a frenzy of disbelief and scheming. Jennie, the stern, sixty‑year‑old matriarch, and her younger sister Sadie, ever the fashionable accomplice, rally to protect their brother’s fortune and their own influence.

The story unfolds with witty banter and sharp observations of family dynamics, as the sisters grapple with the notion of a stranger entering their carefully guarded home. Their determination to test the newcomer and keep Daniel’s assets under control sets the stage for a lively clash of personalities, humor, and the inevitable question of whether love can survive such vigilant guardianship.
