Going home has never been easy for Sofie Higgins. Nestled in the bluebonnet capital, Preston Plantation is home to the pompous Governor of Texas, Jack Preston, who also happens to be Daddy. The girl who never fit into the Governor's lavish lifestyle or kept up with his ridiculous demands had felt like an outsider in her own family her entire childhood. But daddy was a powerful man and what daddy wanted, daddy got. Now a grown woman, Sofie tries to understand why she has always been treated differently than her siblings. Especially since Sofie was always the best at keeping secrets, in spite of the nightmares they brought her. That is, until a sickness jeopardized her entire world and threatened to unravel a long series of buried secrets. With the secrets and lies came a force of power and money. As a novice writer, Sofie had neither. Will her strength and determination in pursuing the truth be enough? Or will the corruption and deceit of the political powers at play simply remove her from the equation as they had with their other problems? Sofie must find a way to save her own life from illness before someone else threatens to take it away. However, unlike the saying goes...Blood is not always not thicker than water...especially when sinister politicians are playing the game.
