The review of this Book prepared by destiny




Taken from her poor but loving family, Rain now lives with the rich crowd but doesn't feel wanted. Her true desire is to be in the theater. This is where she will find comfort as she uncovers family secrets. She enrolls in a drama school in England where she will live with the Endfield family which are her great aunt Lenora and great uncle Richard. Rain hears laughter in the halls at night and lights in areas that are off limits to her. Everything in the house is cold and untouched like in a museum. The house is ran like a millitary camp. One of the secrets that Rain discovers is that her uncle is pretending his daughter that died years ago at a very young age is still alive. Rain also goes on the hunt to find her real father. The twists and turns in this book kept me in great suspense. You must read it for yourself to find all the hidden secrets of this deluded family.
