The arrival of a secret sibling tears a family apart. But
is she who she claims to be?

what would have been his 79th birthday â only to have an unexpected guest
arrive.
Mia claims to be Nathanielâs youngest child, the product of an affair.
Unassuming, likeable and seemingly desperate to connect with the family she did
not know existed until a few weeks ago, Cassie Carson welcomes her with open
arms. But not everyone is quite so accepting of the new addition.
When a series of concerning coincidences emerge and a family member is killed
in suspicious circumstances, even Cassie begins to doubt her new sister.
