In honor of the 40h anniversary, more than 40 contributors lend their vision to this retelling of Star Wars.

Nestled in a small, idyllic town in Delaware lies the Rose Elaine Manor, embellished with fabulous flower gardens that attract travelers from around the world. At least, it used to. When a storm decimates the beloved haven, 35-year-old business owner Rose realizes the restoration process is not for the faint of heart. She will need all the help she can get to honor her family’s legacy… and maybe even find love in the process.

When an unwelcome guest arrives at The Rose Elaine Manor, his presence threatens to disrupt Rose’s most treasured family holiday, Friendship Day. Leaving Jim jealous and Rose frustrated, the man from Rose’s past dredges up tensions she wishes she could forget. Despite their visitor’s greedy intentions, Nancy and Betsy do their best to keep Rose’s mind on what truly matters: her mother’s legacy, which is worth more than any business venture in the world.
