Fiction
An emotional roller coaster of a read about a young mother who must decide whether to save her child by any means necessaryβ even if it means allowing her stepdaughter to die. Nina Arceneaux, a struggling single mother, has a choice to makeβ sheβs been proposed to by a millionaire, a man she doesnβt love. Larry Denison offers to take her, and her eight-year-old daughter, Precious, out of their one-bedroom apartment and move them into a mansion in Monterey, California. But, thereβs a catch. Larry has an autistic eight-year-old daughter named Christine, and Nina isnβt sure she can handle the prospect of being a stepmother to a child with special needs. But, she marries Larry anyway and quickly embraces her new lifestyle. One day, while Larry is away on a business trip, Nina takes both girls on a ride in her new SUV. The vehicle skids off of the road and into a lake. As the car is sinking in the murky water, Nina has to make the toughest decision of her lifeβdoes she save Christine or Precious? When Larry returns from his trip, Nina tells Larry what happened but fails to tell him she could have saved Christine. Sheβs going to take her lie to her grave, but she has one major problemβ¦someone saw the entire thing and is threatening to tell.
