AMONG THE NEWEST NOVELS
A CHOICE SHELF OF NOVELS
Tessie Gilfooly is a bright‑eyed salesgirl at the Evergreen department store, stuck in a dreary routine of mistaken orders and endless complaints from a demanding manager. When a mysterious messenger arrives with the astonishing claim that she has inherited a vast kingdom, her world tilts from the fluorescent aisles to a realm of royal expectations. The opening captures her sharp wit, bitter envy of the privileged Kingley family, and the sudden, bewildering promise of a new identity.
As the news spreads, Tessie wrestles with disbelief and the practical challenges of stepping into a role she never imagined. Alongside her younger brother Johnny and a cast of quirky townsfolk, she begins to navigate the strange customs of aristocracy while retaining the fierce independence that made her a sales‑floor rebel. Listeners are invited to follow her humorous, heartfelt journey as she confronts class divides, family loyalty, and the question of whether a queen can truly be made.
