Olivia always
knew her younger sister would get into trouble. but she never realized
the undercurrents of disaster would grow to a raging flood....Olivia
was always the sensible one. The responsible sister. She took after
their father, a man as cold and driven as the Cape Cod wind, a man
possessed by an inner need to be respected and successful. She would be
the one to take over his million-dollar businesses. She would become the
unwavering compass and resilient caretaker of the Logan family --
whether she wanted to or not.But Belinda belonged only to
herself. Flighty, flirtatious, and possessed of a beauty that promised
her a privileged life, Belinda was lavished with attention. Mother and
Father, family friends, boys from school, they all adored Belinda. And
as she matured into a young woman, her beauty became even more haunting.
She vowed never to grow up, to remain forever an enchanting little girl
to be worshiped and cared for.Then came that fateful
night, when Olivia was awakened by the low whistle of the wind off the
ocean...a whistle that became an unearthly wail coming from Belinda's
bedroom. It was the tragic night that their father would forbid them to
speak of ever again. The night they would never forget. The night that
would send generations of Logans down an unavoidable path of lies,
deceit, and heartbreak. Views: 43
