Betwixt & Between Series


Most people would be hesitant to accept a gift from a stranger, especially if it was something as strange and magnificent as a house. However, when recently-divorced Defiance Dyane is told that a complete stranger has left a home to her in Salem, Massachusetts, her curiosity gets the best of her. Defiance moves to Salem and is surprised to see that she seems to have inherited a castle: a worn-down and dirty castle, but a castle nonetheless. As she settles into her new residence, her neighbors begin stopping by to ask her for help and advice, much to her surprise. Who was the mysterious person who left Defiance the castle, and what do the locals think about Defiance?
