The Malette family has owned a cottage for more than 30 years, a cottage which Nikki and her siblings have inherited from their father. Before their father passed away, he willed the cottage to his four children, ensuring that it would remain in the family. Nikki and her husband Russ created a system to ensure against future conflicts, and Nikki Koski has now written this book to share the system with you. When she is not at the cottage, Nikki Koski works as a real estate agent.
