Grandma Left the Mafia Boss Off Her Thanksgiving Place Cards — Then a Little Girl Fixed It

A feared Chicago mafia boss wasn't invited to Thanksgiving dinner in his own mansion. But one little girl refused to let him be left out. Grant Mercer has power, wealth, and a reputation that makes grown men tremble. Yet when Celestine Broussard, the fiercely protective grandmother of little Junie, arrives from New Orleans, the most feared man in Chicago faces a challenge he can't solve with money or authority. There are eleven place cards on the Thanksgiving table. Not one of them says Grant. Celestine has come with a warning—and a plan to take her daughter Simone and granddaughter Junie home on Sunday. Simone Baptiste, a widowed single mother who now runs Grant's household, has slowly become someone he cannot imagine losing. And her adorable little girl Junie has already taught him lessons about kindness, trust, and what it means to belong. But three mysterious letters threaten to destroy the family they've begun to build. As Thanksgiving approaches, a hidden betrayal inside the Mercer household comes to light.

And when Junie discovers that someone has been left out of the family table, she decides to do something about it herself. Will her grandmother take them away on the Sunday train?
