About this audiobook
A quiet, unremarkable man who has always been dismissed by his family as "that stick" suddenly inherits a title and a massive estate, shocking those around him. As he steps into his new responsibilities, he reveals a hidden depth of character and a steady integrity that outshines his more flamboyant relatives. This underdog story is a moving celebration of quiet virtue and the deceptive nature of first impressions.
