Author Description

Escaping a challenged lifestyle, Kate's world is turned on its head when she reluctantly agrees to move in with her rural cousins, the quiet family of O'Donnell-Smiths. Troubled but well-meaning, she is a strong-willed girl with a mind of her own. Her personality clashes with her cousins, whom she regards as out of touch, unable to move with the times. However, they work to overcome their divide when the family is thrown into jeopardy by the iniquitous actions of others. This story aims to show that in a world where those with different backgrounds are pitted against each other and driven apart, the pressing need to prevail in the name of common decency triumphs above all superficial differences.
