Coles The Silent Partner's Daughter: Her Father Owned Half His Company and Never Once Walked through the Door at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

You are eight months late.
That is the first thing Ravel Toussaint-Boyd says to Dell Marchetta-Voorhees, and he is right. She has owned forty-nine percent of his boatyard since January and this is the first time she has stood in it.
Her father bought that stake in 2004 for three hundred and eighty thousand dollars, when Ravel was twenty-three and had two boats and a bank that would not look at him. He never worked a day in it. He refused seven offers to sell and never gave a reason. And he never told his daughter it existed.
Now she owns half of a company she does not understand, in a yard where thirty-one people are politely waiting to find out whether she will sell it out from under them. There is a buyer in Brunswick with four and a half million dollars and a plan to close the marine railway. There is a bookkeeper of seventy-four who has been right about the arithmetic since 2011 and has never had anyone to tell. And there is a man who has every right to resent her, and does, and says so on the first morning.
A slow-burn about inheritance, competence, and the difference between being fair and wanting something. Set on the Georgia coast, among people who work with their hands.
Some people keep a life in a drawer. Some people go and stand in it.
