The Grey sisters have always banded together against the distant chill of their father. Winona, the oldest, never felt at home on the seaside horse ranch which has been in her family for three generations. A small town attorney, she sees herself as an overweight bookworm who doesn't have the qualities her father values, but she is determined to prove her worth to him. Aurora, the middle sister, is the family peacemaker. She brokers every dispute and tries to keep them all happy, even as she hides her own secret pain. Vivi Ann is the undisputed star of the family. A stunningly beautiful dreamer with a heart as big as the Pacific Ocean in front of her house, she is adored by all who know her. Everything comes easily for Vivi Ann, love most of all. A terrible, shocking crime will shatter their family and tear their beloved town apart. Accused is Vivi Ann's new husband, an outsider. For the first time, the sisters will be pitted against each other. Loyalties will be tested and secrets revealed as they confront the dark side of the criminal justice system, the price of prejudice, the long road to redemption, and, ultimately, what it means to be a family.
