Now this sounds both intriguing and an edge of your seat read. If her father is sitting on a small fortune why have they never moved away from this desolate place. And why would she not take her son and leave, starting a new life somewhere more hospitable? What happened in her father's past and who has he wronged ? Thos sounds like a book that will grab you and keep hold of you until the very last page. I'd absolutely love to read this and find the answers to my questions
