Margaret's study in Germany proves difficult for troubling memories overlay her mind: Pamela's flight from her murderous husband; the kidnapping of the Texas Attorney General's son; and Olga's search for her stolen twins, the product of her forced conception by a baby selling gang.
But Margaret has allies too: Vladimir, a former general in Russia's Presidential Security Service, who considers her a daughter; Cody, a retired Texas Ranger; a lawyer, Margaret's father, whose actions exemplify courage; and her boyfriend, Randy, who is the love of her life.
R. L. Rhyse, a former resident of Greenwich, Connecticut, is the author of the eighteen-volume Margaret of Greenwich(R) Young Adult series, Margaret's suspenseful coming-of-age saga describing the life of a poor teenager, from adolescence through marriage and motherhood, in the richest town in America; and of the novel Dead To Life.
