While she's there, Christine becomes close with the family's youngest daughter, who is also struggling to find her place in the world. When the family's matriarch dies, Christine is the only one who knows about the family's fortune- and she's not sure whether she should tell anyone. As Christine starts to piece together the family's secrets, she discovers that she's the only one who can save them from ruin- but she'll have to risk everything to do it.; 8vo; 296 pages.
