Son, we are leaving right now. This wedding will not continue.' As my father gathered the family together to leave, he turned to the priest, and said, 'You have our apologies, but the Baxter family will not be a party to this travesty that has nearly fallen upon us.' Barbie Boone is not about to have another typical day at the investigations office. Her boss, Adam, has just revealed to her that Marilee Santiago, his would-be bride, has just called him after twenty years, begging his assistance to find their son, Dune. Barbie and Adam immediately travel to California to find the lost young man and his adopted sister but discover a jumble of secrets, lies, and misguided family loyalty. And Marilee has changed a great deal; in fact she is now Sister Rose Lee. Barbie soon learns that they must find Dune not only because he has run away but because he is about to make a life-changing decision without really knowing who he's involved with. Barbie solves one mystery only to stumble upon the even greater, unspeakable Santiago family secret. She is drugged and kidnapped, but will she be able to escape before the evil Drake Delviro silences her? Or will the law silence Drake just as he is inspired to come clean and admit his transgressions? The duplicity and misguided devotion of Marilee Santiago's twin sister, Kitty, unravels and reveals more pain and anxiety. What secrets have yet to come out in this family of twisted relationships and intentions? Will those who seek the truth find it? Indeed, will the truth set anyone free?
