About the book
They were once a happy family. However, everything changed when her daughter accused his son...of rape.
Authors Owen and Linda McFarland had been enjoying a blissful seven years together. During this time, they had put in a lot of effort to integrate his son Bruce and her daughter Emily into a cohesive family unit on their farm in Massachusetts. Handsome Bruce, now a high school senior, had a girlfriend whom he adored. Meanwhile, pretty Emily was a sophomore at the same boarding school.
Then, just before Thanksgiving, Emily attempted to take her own life.
Following her hospitalization in a private facility, a brooding and resentful Emily claimed that Bruce had raped her. Bruce vehemently denied the accusation. One of them was not telling the truth. Uncovering the reality could shatter a lifetime of false beliefs and a marriage-- in a narrative concerning stepfamilies and concealed truths, faith and affection that will strike a chord with your emotions...
