    About this audiobook

    From #1 New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels, beloved worldwide for her heartwarming novels, comes a story of family secrets, friendship, and second chances, as one woman is confronted with the shocking truth about her past.

    Illustrator Lucy Brighton loves her work. Her animal characters Izzy, Bizzy, and Lizzy have their own comic strip, card line, and children’s cartoon, and their popularity has given Lucy financial stability and freedom. Yet none of that quite erases the lingering ache of a cold, lonely childhood. Sent away to boarding school at ten, Lucy spent little time with her parents afterward, and her few visits home only seemed to widen the gap between them. Even though she still lives in the New Jersey house where she grew up, Lucy has had little contact with her parents since they moved to Florida five years ago.

    Then Lucy receives a call to say that her mother and father have been killed in a car crash. While settling their affairs in Florida, Lucy begins to realize how little she really knew about their lives. She has no way to explain the mysterious safe in their bedroom, with its cache of fake passports, cash, and weapons. Everything in the house is neat, scrupulously clean, almost too picture-perfect. What secrets were the Brightons keeping? Were they even who they claimed to be?

    When Luke Kingston, the developer who helped build her parents’ home, calls to pay his respects, he and Lucy strike up a friendship that promises more. But before Lucy can explore a future with him she knows she must uncover the truth—even if it changes everything she once believed about her parents, and about herself.

    Fern Michaels

    New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels has a passion for romance, often with a dash of suspense and drama. It stems from her other joys in life—her family, animals, and historic home. She is usually found in South Carolina, where she is either tapping out stories on her computer, rescuing or supporting animal organizations, or dabbling in some kind of historical restoration.

      A lovely sweet story. Well read-clear pleasant voices. Thank you.
    • 4/5
      Another very good book by Fern Michaels. This is the story of Lucy Brighton and the life she leads as a successful author of children's books. There are many facets to her life that she does not find out until later in her life when her alleged parents are killed in a car accident. There is mystery to this story and romance. I really think the story could have a sequel. I've read everything Fern Michaels has written and she is an excellent author.
    • 3/5
      This actually was not a bad book, but I think it could have been better. Lucy Brighton is a successful author of a children?s book series with numerous spin-offs. Lucy seems to have everything, but really has no happy memories of childhood or loving parents, having been shuffled off to boarding school at age 10 by parents she barely knows or has a relationship with. When they die suddenly, she is thrown into a tizzy by what she finds in their Florida house. The story has a fairly good storyline, though it is very much improbable. I also wish there had been some reconciliation between Lucy and her parents at the end. I guess I just like happy endings. I thought that was coming as I read the book. Lucy does find a good man in the midst of all her troubles, as crazy and improbable as they all seem. In the end, I think the author copped out by having one of the main characters retire, so the whole story of what exactly was going on could be presented. However, having another ending might have increased the length of the book considerably, which the author might not have wanted to do. Nevertheless, the writing is good and the characters are well-developed but you would expect that from such a well-known, popular author. I have read everything the author has written. I get the impression she is grappling with what to write now. This is a good attempt, but, as one reviewer pointed out, she missed several good chances to expand the story and make it better.

      I think the story went on for too long, I would have liked Alana to find her memory sooner. It was just a book to pass the time.
