Family Secrets: YA mystery/suspense
IF YOU WANT THE ENTIRE E-BOOK VERSION, HERE IT IS...
Someone is murdering people and dealing in illegal diamonds, and the prime suspect is Clayton Madison. Christine is his daughter who, despite his absence, refuses to believe the lies and determines to prove his innocence.
Uncovering clues is difficult with a corrupt police force, a mother on the brink of a nervous breakdown, a mysteriously silent brother, skeletons in the closet, and a forbidden love who appears a little too interested in things concerning the Madison scandal. Who's a girl to trust?
Christine Madison, the senior voted, 'most likely to succeed', is at the top of her game, yet dissatisfied with her social status and all the phoniness attached to it. But, when it all crumbles at her feet, the journey back forces her to rediscover contentment, peace, love, and trust.
Christine, her family, and her friends are on the roller coaster ride of their lives, where the past catches up to the present and the future looks darker than she ever dreamed possible. Even the support of her best friends, Sarah and Matt, society's perfect couple, cause her grief and heartache, Matt being the only guy Christine can never have but desperately wants.
Entangled friendships and families ties are obstacles we all face in life. Fictionalize these characters, breathe life into their adventure and you have an explosive story that the reader can relate to. Set them amidst the romantic splendor of upper-class society and you have a combination that will spark emotion, set hearts racing and provide hope that there is a 'Rock' to lean on while traveling the road of tragedy.
