At just four years old, Penny Caldwell is anything but ordinary. Raised in a remote mountain sanctuary, Penny is a bald little prodigy with an impossible secret — the Empty Purse Curse. Everywhere she goes, money disappears, fortunes crumble, and monasteries go bankrupt. When her master finally sends her down the mountain to “train,” it’s really just a polite way of surviving her absence. But the city is nothing like the mountain. Within hours of arriving, Penny saves a wealthy matriarch’s life, accidentally bankrupts a fortune teller’s scheme, clears entire restaurant tables like a storm, and somehow attracts the attention of the ultra-rich Caldwell family — who decide she is the perfect granddaughter they never knew they needed. There’s just one problem: wherever Penny goes, money doesn’t stay. As the Caldwells welcome their “heaven-sent daughter,” business empires begin to tremble, mysterious golden merit begins shifting in unseen ways, and a strange spiritual balance starts to tilt. Penny may look like an innocent, food-loving child… but her curse might be the key to something far bigger than anyone realizes. And now that she has a family that refuses to let her go, the real question is: Is Penny a disaster for wealth… or the one person who can rewrite fate itself?
