Book Synopsis

For ex-con Casey Cavendish, a quest for family and a new life becomes a primal battle for survival.  

After clearing her name but burning her bridges in Ohio, Casey Cavendish ventures to New England in search of a mystery man she believes to be her father and to find a place to call her own. Instead, she becomes embroiled with a new-found dysfunctional family: a rich, legally blind Irish widow, her disabled and severely disfigured sister, a cousin who lives under a bridge and collects cans, and an estranged but charismatic son-in-law who appears to claim his inheritance.

Casey is swept into a flood of dangerous undercurrents of family secrets, greed, and deadly vendettas which threaten her and those she's come to love and hold dear.
