The Second Daughter - J. Jeffrey

. .

Résumé :
A charming and witty fraud of a father. An angry, resentful older sister. A poor harried mother. Everyone blames younger daughter Debra for something as lies, heartbreaks, and betrayals begin disintegrating their family. When a late-night phone call brings her mother's secret past crashing back into the present, and her life seems about to change forever, Debra discovers not only her unyielding determination but also an irrepressible capacity to love.
