It seems Brett Bolinger has everything: a well-paid job, a luxurious apartment, a handsome boyfriend. In short, there’s nothing left to want. And this settled life ends when her beloved mother dies, leaving a will with one strange condition. To receive her inheritance, Brett must achieve every life goal on the list she made as a naive fourteen-year-old girl. At first, shocked by her mother’s death, Brett thinks the decision makes no sense. But now she’s thirty-four—childhood dreams are long forgotten and no longer match what she wants. Some goals from her childhood list seem impossible. For example, how could she maintain a good relationship with her father, who died seven years ago? Other goals (becoming a cool teacher) require her to completely change her life. And yet, reluctantly, Brett sets out to find her childhood dreams. During this exciting journey, she realizes one simple thing: sometimes life gives us priceless gifts in the most unexpected circumstances.
