This was an awesome book and a very emotional read at that. It was charming and funny, heartwarming and sad all rolled into one.

This will open your eyes to the fact that our eyes are open but we don’t really see and we all fear things that we don’t understand. Sadly we lose out on so much because of what we see on the outside and not really see what’s held on the inside.

Life was hard for Priscilla, the adults in her life failed her on so many levels that it took many years for her to really find out what happened to her mother, to understand her father and find release from her stepmother. Priscilla had endured a lot in her life which made her a strong and loving mother to her children especially her son Warren who was so much different than other kids that he was shunned as an outcast by the community until the day came when all was finally made right.

Jenna is Warren’s twin and they say that twins speak a language that only they can understand and that is was what it took to bring Jenna back to Royal Court, a place that Jenna has outgrown and wanted no part of it.

When Jenna comes back home to help, she’s come to realize that her family has become outcasts in the beloved community in which she was raised. No longer do they see Priscilla as the beauty queen she once was or Warren as the misguided and lost youth who was a little different then other kids, what they now see is an old woman who hoards stuff in a rundown old house and Warren as a threat to the community as thefts are occuring around the neighborhood.

Now it’s apparent to Jenna that she has to fix this but with an old flame back home and the hostility of the people it’s getting harder and harder for Jenna to come to terms with what is really wrong with her family. When the skeletons come crawling out of the family closet, things are starting to make sense and she has a better understanding of life and what she wants out of it.

As the pressure builds up and her world is starting to crumble, it takes a near tragedy to right it all. One thing for sure, NEVER judge a book by it’s cover because you just may be missing the best read of your life.
