Carolyn (Carrie) Brekenship is a strong and delicate southern girl with a big heart and a terrible life.As things turn out, life has been really hard on her, having married an atypical abusive husband with a big ego and a hard hand. James (Jim) Brekenship is an egotistical psychopath that is intent on making Carrie's life a living hell is she does not give him what he wants. The thing is that Jim has a great many dark secrets. Secrets that Carries is fixed on discovering, even if her life is the price to pay in order to find them out.Lots of dark secrets surround the town of Kilmservy Village. Things that only a hand full of people dare to acknowledge. This people like Gabe Stuttshire, Ray & Charlotte Brekenship and Lorianna McKessa. Yet life goes on as normal for this little town until things begin to unravel that change Carrie's life forever.There's the matter of Rachael. Rachael is Ray's twin sister who disappeared many years ago and though no one knew for sure what happened to her, Ray and Lorianna have their ideas. They think they know. And they'll do anything to tell Carrie.Gabe who has had a life long crush on Carrie make it his mission to protect her.Under the veil of a quiet, homely town, Kilmservy Village is not at all what it seems.This story will appeal to the lover of a good southern drama. It's a lot like a soap opera with twists and turns, surprises and human emotion. Slow paced but for a reason. This story has all the elements that will keep you wanting to know what's going to happen next--but IF and only IF you are patient enough to find out. This isn't a story to read in one sitting. It's a book that will take time and dedication. Much like a good soap opera would. I couldn't help but compare it to the likes of the old (already canceled soap opera) Dallas, in some aspects, only much more "Small Town" if you will.All in all a good read that makes you care about the good characters and despise the bad ones.
