Love, Greed and Lie$

ROSE AND ALBERT must make a heartbreaking choice, which remains a devastating secret for many years. Their decision alters forever the lives of two babies-Emma Jean and Gloria. Emma Jean grew up poor. She blamed her elderly parents-showing them only disrespect and contempt. Her obsession for affluence consumed her and she didn’t think twice about stealing… if she had to. Growing up at a time when people struggled to have enough to eat, Gloria enjoyed wealth and the possessions that it brought. But still her life lacked the love and affection that she craved. Detective Randal explores the mystery of two very different families-each has just experienced a terrible misfortune. He uncovers the pain and anguish that both families have kept long buried, and discovers their stories are connected. After eighty years, love, greed and lies cause the twins’ lives to intersect once again-in a way that no one could have foreseen-and ultimately destroys the life of an unstable daughter.
