But first they stopped in Cape Cod to visit her father’s family at last.Melody knew only that her grandparents had disowned their son when he married Haille — just because she was an orphan, her mother said.

Then Cary revealed the truth he’d gleaned about her parents — a sad shocking story that only puzzled her more. Melody knew nothing of the dark deceptions that would soon surface…the devastating betrayals she would face before she glimpsed the faint, beckoning lights of a safe harbor…
