mom passed away just a few months ago.

husband and Keira's brother, but she tells Keira not to wait
too long. Secrets are hard to keep.

to Kirsten for several days. He also decides he must resign
his position as pastor of the church he so dearly loves. If

fact the Keira is not their father's child. Can things get
any worse?
