Happiness Key by Emilie Richards

Happiness Key is the story of five people. Tracy is a newly divorced, pampered thirtyish woman.  She is left with five, falling apart, cottages nestled on 25 acres on the Gulf Coast of Florida as her only support after her husband is sent to prison.  The shift of going from a life of extravagance in all areas to landlord presents something of a challenge for her.

Jayna is a newly arrived immigrant from India having difficulty adjusting to her prearranged marriage and her new life in America.  Alice is a retiree suffering, according to her son-in-law, from Alzheimer’s Disease.  Wanda is married to a policeman and having a hard time making her marriage work. Rounding out the group of five is Herb Krauss, who Tracy finds dead in his cottage soon after taking over as landlord.  When Tracy gets nowhere in finding Herb’s next of kin, she and the others decide it’s up to them to figure out the mystery of Herb.
