I have a patron looking for a book and the only information that she
had was a brief description "A woman who is married to a very
wealthy man and used to living in the lap of luxury is completely
surprised that she is only left a farmhouse after he dies
unexpectedly." The story goes on to describe how she handles the
situation and what the real reason she was only left this small inheritance..
Any help in this search is greatly appreciated.

Publisher's description:
He needed me.
For nearly twenty years, those three words dictated the life of Lillian
Manville. Quiet, unassuming, and overweight, Lillian did anything and
everything to please her husband, the illustrious self-made billionaire
James Manville. Since the tender age of seventeen, she had obeyed this
powerful older man's every command and in return she received a life beyond
her wildest dreams. Elaborate mansions. Trips around the world. The finest
jewels and the most luxurious fashions.
Whatever I wanted, he gave me long before I knew I wanted it.
But when Jimmie dies suddenly in a plane crash, Lillian's pampered life
comes to an abrupt halt. She learns that Jimmie has bequeathed all of his
riches to his devious siblings, Atlanta and Ray. All, that is, except an old
farmhouse in small-town Calburn, Virginia. Although Lillian is devastated by
Jimmie's death and apparent betrayal, she soon discovers a well of secrets
connected to Jimmie's past that originate in Calburn and to a long-ago
tragedy concerning a group of boys hailed as the "Golden Six." Uncovering
those secrets, Lillian thinks, will help her to better understand the man
she loved and mysteriously lost.
What Lillian doesn't foresee is how her unexpected circumstances quickly
transform her. She loses weight, changes her name to avoid further
harassment from the press, and, with the help of Matthew Longacre, a kind,
handsome local man, begins to renovate the farmhouse and establish
friendships with Calburn's quirky townspeople. In time she develops her own
thriving business and an inner strength she never knew existed. But, though
Lillian's new life seems as strong as the mulberry tree firmly planted
outside her farmhouse, there remain secrets and lies that threaten to uproot
the past she cherished and the future she will fight to protect.
