This is the second edition of this book. It has been re-edited, revised, and re-formatted. The cover has been changed as well. The original title was The Lyons Garden Book One Family Ties. The title has been changed to be more congruent with the second and third books in this trilogy.

When Jessica Greenhall accepts the photography assignment on Gardiners Island, she doesn't realize her search for her biological family will ultimately take center stage. The hostility projected toward her by those living on the island leaves her wanting to finish her job and leave as quickly as possible.

The clues lead her to discover who she is, and the question arises, who wants her gone? Her only solace is her budding relationship with the writer assigned to the island with her, Timothy Sullivan.

Jessica wants to know the truth, however, the truth changes her life forever.
