Inherited Treasures Book 4
Gangsters & Reels, the fourth book in the “Inherited Treasures” series, continues with Malcolm and Eileen pulling off a free wedding as part of a wrap-up party of a movie shoot – with their family cast as extras – courtesy of Eileen’s mother and manager, Edythe. Then the intoxicated stars of the movie convinced Malcolm’s Aunt Mildred to lend them her limousine for an evening of fun afterwards. Her first instinct was to decline, but she didn’t want them to spoil the reception.
They did far more than that as it turned out.

Our Readers Comment ~
“A fun ride with Hazel as she navigates her life making choices she wants and not what’s expected. I really enjoyed this book and couldn’t wait for the second in the series.” – Jeanne Cooper, Vocalist and Composer
“”Becoming Hazel” is a beautifully crafted tale of resilience, independence, and self-discovery set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America. Dorrie-Lenore Parsons masterfully intertwines themes of love, empowerment, and the pursuit of dreams, bringing Hazel’s inspiring journey to life with vivid storytelling and rich historical detail. A must-read for anyone drawn to strong, trailblazing women and heartfelt emotion.” – Eric, Amazon review, August 13, 2025
