Following the death of her father in a dreadful accident, Melody Logan is devastated when her mother leaves her too, abandoning her with her father's family in Cape Cod, a family she has never known.
Desperately homesick, Melody must come to terms with the strange Logan family: dour, Bible-spouting Uncle Jacob, whose twin, Laura, was killed in a sailing accident, and sweet, deaf little May.
Sleeping in Laura's old room, Melody is just beginning to deal with her grief and confusion. But she can know nothing of the dark deceptions that will soon surface, the devastating betrayals she is to face, and the sad, shocking truth about her parents . . .
