The girl who stole the clothes right off her body runs off, forcing Kai to follow. What she finds is more trouble and more questions. Forced to cooperate with the thief Olivia and her handsome brother Jadon, Kai slowly recovers details of her life.

Amelia Bae-Wood spent the last 20 years working odd jobs, traveling the world, and building up one of the most famous and revered Michelin-Star restaurants in the world with her long-time boyfriend Nils. But it all came crashing down. And even with her incredible success, all she has to show for it now is her childless, single, unemployed life and a new criminal record. After finishing up community service at a Buddhist Monastery, she gets an email from her sister Eleanor that their newly widowed mother is being kicked out from her estate. Apparently their deceased father had a Korean son they never knew about, who is now inheriting everything their father owned. With nowhere to go, all three women move into the Master’s Cottage at Arcadia Cancer Retreat Center. And while the women try to figure out how to handle the legal battles and their living situation, they meet a charming crew of volunteers – and single men. But as Amelia slowly comes to terms with her past, she soon learns that she’s not the only one with secrets. And if the truth comes to light for any of these new friends, more than just friendships and relationships will be disturbed. Relative Strangers by A. H. Kim is a modern retelling of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility in which the Bae-Wood women deal with loss and grief while finding love and forgiveness along the way. Read more
