Description
The Morrison siblings have been haunted by tragedy since the sudden death of their parents in an accident when they were young.
Kate found an escape from the legacy of their dark past in her passion for the natural world. Now a zoologist far away from the small farming community where she grew up, she thinks she’s outgrown her three brothers, who were once her entire world.
But Kate can’t seem to escape her childhood or lighten the weight of their mutual past.
