Pero nada es sencillo sobre este legado. Si bien la identidad de su benefactor sigue siendo un misterio, el, o ella, ha dejado una importante condicion legal: que la tienda no pueda venderse. Rosa toma la decision de intentarlo y pone de su parte para hacer que la tienda vuelva a funcionar. Pero, ¿puede hacerlo ella sola? Y si no, ¿quien la ayudara a tener exito, y quienes trabajaran en secreto para verla fracasar?Con resultados sorprendentes y sinceros, Rosa, acompañada en todo momento por su pequeño perro salchicha, Hot, desentrañara lentamente los secretos sombrios de la herencia y tambien sacara a la luz su propia herencia, oculta durante mucho tiempo. La Tienda de la Esquina en la bahia de Cockleberry es un viaje de autodescubrimiento llenos de momentos impredecibles.
