Splitting Heirs
A Novel
Written and Illustrated by
Anne Chadwick

In 1923, a mysterious loner dies in a dingy Los Angeles apartment, leaving a stunning fortune and no known heirs. A puritanical lawyer teams with a profligate genealogist to find rightful heirs and fend off a slew of false claimants. Their odyssey through France - full of temptation, heartbreak, humility, and discovery - reveals “family” doesn’t always fit neatly into the genealogical chart.
