AMAZON #1 BESTSELLERCece Turner adored her beautiful cousin, Elizabeth Perkins, from the first time they met during a family visit in South Carolina. While distance mostly separated them, their hearts were deeply connected from the start. She watched as Elizabeth was groomed by her society conscious mother to represent the family in a glamourous, but proper Southern manner. Cece thrilled at the news of Liz’s various appearances in local beauty pageants some of which she attended. An extrovert who entered the room with flair, few knew she was badly lacking in self esteem due to pressure from her goading mother.
During the long separation, their lives take different turns. Cece finds long time happiness in her rock, Ross Turner. But, contrary to expectations, Liz’s life did not unfold as hoped. Happiness eluded her as she searched for a father figure, through multiple abusive marriages and various companions, leaving her with the only company that offered her unconditional love – her many cats.
To the casual observer, Liz was highly successful. Achieving celebrity through television, advertising, public speaking, and modeling, she remained personally unfulfilled until one mysterious and tragic event changed everything.
