"If you are looking for a series that keeps you on the edge, wondering what will happen next, wondering how an author created a jaw-dropping, heart-stopping book. Then look no further. Genie has created that with this series." --Bunnies Review

A SURPRISE VISITOR...


In a family of eight adopted siblings, biological relatives are sure to enter the lives of the O'Shea family of fictional Halo, Oregon. Shortly after the town explodes, Grady's birth mother comes to see him.


**Grady paused a moment with his hand on the doorknob, then turned it and stepped into the room, coming face to
face with a blonde-haired woman twisting her fingers together. 
She gasped when she saw him and shoved a fist against her mouth. Tears began to stream down her face as she stared at Grady. 

"My baby," she whispered. Her hand shook as she reached out to touch him. Then stopped. 

Grady searched the woman's face, looking for some resemblance. Proof that she had indeed given birth to him and CJ. 

"Where's my other boy?" 

"Not here today." 

"Oh." Disappointment momentarily dragged down the corners of the woman's mouth, then she formed a smile again. "I'm Norah." 

"Grady." He held out his hand, staring at the woman who had given birth to him and CJ. Then given them up. 

"May I-I'd like to hug you." 

As soon as Grady closed his arms around her trembling body, one of the pieces that had been missing in his life clicked into place.
