Diana awakens on her seventeenth birthday in a joyful mood. But at breakfast she is told, during a heated argument with her mother, that the man she has loved as her father is not her father at all.

When Kevin vanishes without a trace, Diana learns family is more than shared DNA and discovers who will help her when it appears all hope is gone. Can Diana discover love and the power of forgiveness? Excerpt "Morning, Mama." Diana twirled a strand of her long, blonde hair around her finger and waited outside the kitchen. Socks, Diana's tabby cat, purred and circled her legs. Silence permeated the room, but the aroma of freshly brewed coffee beckoned Diana. She edged into the tiny kitchen where she poured a cup and then leaned against the counter. Her mother poured batter into a hot skillet where four runny pancakes puddled and merged to create one warped circle. "Damn." Roberta jabbed the concoction with a metal flipper and tried to separate the one into four. She tossed the utensil into the sink. Pancake batter spotted the tile back splash and window.

A griping story. It was hard to put down. The story takes many twists and turns. Keeps the reader on their toes. I don't appreciate the language. Those words do not add one bit to the story. It would be a 5 star in my book if the language was kept clean.
