Man plans and God laughs. – Anonymous Cara’s life is spinning out
 of control. A double-wedding is canceled at the last minute. A baby 
comes early. Her son decides he hates college. But none of that is as 
upsetting as the death of a young acquaintance, a delightful food 
service professional with her whole life ahead of her. The 
drive-by shooting has left the cops without a suspect. Maybe it was 
simply a random act of violence. But Cara’s curiosity, and her innate 
sense of humanity, drives her to keep asking questions. Who killed the 
girl with the purple hair? And why? Of course, Cara has plenty to
 keep her occupied. “Season” in Florida is the short window of time when
 visitors from the North come to town and spend money. It’s a make-it or
 break-it time for a retail shop like The Treasure Chest. It’s also the 
worst time ever for Cara to learn that her ex-husband is withdrawing his
 financial support. How will her son finish his education? How will Cara
 pay the looming tuition bill when she’s knee-deep in the holidays? She 
can’t even take time off to talk to her banker, given his short 
Christmas/New Year working hours. But Cara is nothing if not 
resourceful. She’s a multi-tasker, and her mind never stops. Add in a 
generous amount of creativity, and Cara’s practically unstoppable. 
Except…except…there’s still that unsolved murder. It’s taking up a lot 
of her psychological energy. Can Cara keep her head above water? 
Can she keep her business afloat? Can she rescue her son’s college 
career? Or is she about to go down with the ship?
