Award-winning author Felicia Mason introduces us to a respectable Southern family turned upside-down by grief…and a hilarious and sometimes undignified search for a huge inheritance… After a lifetime spent scrubbing and mending for others, Ana Mae Futrell has passed away. Her siblings have reluctantly returned to their North Carolina hometown to bury the older sister they never really bothered to know. For instance, they didn’t know she’d won big on a lottery ticket. Or that she had a son. But back to the money—Ana Mae’s millions will go only to the person who can interpret the clues she’s left behind in a quilt. If they all fail, the fortune goes to Ana Mae’s cats—and a Reverend with whom she shared a “special” relationship… Ana Mae’s two sisters and brother hadn’t really thought about her in years, but now she’s all they can think about. And as the race to win begins, everyone finds there’s more to gain than money. Because they’re each going to learn a little something about Ana Mae—and a whole lot more about themselves… “Fabulous family drama.” —Midwest Book Review “Mason presents a family in transition whom all can identify with. Throw in a hidden fortune and a good dose of humor, and readers will laugh through their tears.” —RT Book Reviews

7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. fabulous family drama By A Customer Hidden RichesFelicia MasonKensington, Jan 28 2014, $15.00ISBN: 9780758205735Employed as a domestic and known for her quality quilts (and fried chicken) Ana Mae Futrell recently died from an aneurism while cleaning a toilet. The Ahoskie Times & Union Report mentions in the obit that she is survived by a son Howard who neither the townsfolk nor her family knew existed. Her three younger siblings (Mary Josephine Coston of Las Vegas, Marguerite Delcine Foster of Maryland and Dr. Clayton Futrell of San Francisco) and their significant others arrive in their hometown of Drapersville, North Carolina for the funeral.Ana Mae's will surprisingly include a lot of money which she initially had won at the lottery but immensely grew with sound investments. It also stipulates her siblings and their mates, her pastor Reverend Toussaint and her BFF Rosalee search for the meaning of a quilt she left behind.Hidden Riches is an engaging contemporary as the deceased prayed when she was alive that one day she succeeds in her mission. Character driven by a fully developed cast and containing a stunning twist that explains much of the dysfunction, readers will appreciate Felicia Mason's fabulous family drama.Harriet Klausner

Terrific story of families and love By LeahDee “Hidden Riches” is the story of three adult siblings who travel to their (fictional) hometown of Drapersville, NC, for the funeral of their older sister. While Ana Mae had remained a home-town girl, working menial jobs, going to church and living her simple country life, the three had fled the area years earlier to make lives for themselves in bigger, more exciting, locales. Grudgingly, they return home for the funeral, dragging their problems with them.Delcine, the oldest, arrives as Marguerite, a name befitting the glamorous lifestyle she’s built in the D.C. suburbs with her powerful husband Winslow, a high-ranking government official. Despite their trappings of wealth, the two are having financial problems, and the trip south couldn’t come at a worse time.For middle child JoJo, who works as an exotic dancer on the Las Vegas strip, the homecoming shines a spotlight on her unhappiness with husband Lester who wastes no time in demonstrating his lack of grace, or common sense.The baby of the family, Clayton, possibly has the most at stake with the trip home. He must relive the shame of homosexuality he’d shed when he escaped Drapersville years before and settled in San Francisco where’s he’s built a prosperous career as a doctor. He’s also built a loving family with his loyal partner Archer, a successful attorney. Lately there have been rumblings of discontent between them, and this time together could make or break their relationship.Expecting a quick in-and-out trip to lay their older sister to rest, they quickly discover Ana Mae had other plans. She might have spent her life simply, but not meagerly. She’s been active with her church family, and she even dipped her toes into some financial investments.When the siblings discover that Ana Mae had money—big money—they start jockeying for position to make a claim. But Ana Mae hasn’t made it easy. A skilled quilter, she devised a test for her family in the form of clues embedded in her life quilt. In order to solve the puzzle, and claim the money, the siblings must learn who Ana Mae really was. From the first meeting with the attorney, the siblings’ lives, and their impressions of their deceased older sister, are turned upside down.The book is a fast read but rich in emotion. Mason draws her characters, including a secondary cast of friends and townspeople, with flaws but with sympathy, skillfully pulling the reader into the everyday life of this small southern town.Terrific book.(I received this book as an ARC for review.)

If you've ever wondered why small-town life is intoxicating yet stifling, pick up this gem of a book.Ana Mae Futrell is the sibling who stayed behind in North Carolina as the others sought wealth in larger cities. Ana Mae's sudden death brings her sisters and brother home again. Mary, Marguerite, and Clayton return to pay respects to their underachieving sister--a domestic--and soon discover her business savvy and a possible inheritance. Shattered is the myth that their toilet-cleaning, quilt-making sister with no love life of which to speak was a dull bore; instead, the siblings learn of Ana Mae's strengths through all the hobbies she enjoyed: gardening, quilting, and cooking. (Yes, Ana Mae, not Annie Mae!)I laughed, cried, and thought about these characters long after I closed the last page. This is my first Felicia Mason read, but it won't be my last. What an excellent novel!
