Suzanne Brown and her daughter, Dominique have begun a new
life in the pretty little town of Harper Valley. Suzanne and Dominique struggle
a bit with their new identities and the backstory they have created to fit
their new circumstances. Although Suzanne does not need to work, she finds a
job as a bookkeeper at the fabric mill in town so people will not suspect she
secretly has a net worth of millions.
While Dominique who is about to turn thirteen tries to
adjust to attending a public school and a church teen group, she desperately
misses her BFF back in California but she has been warned not to communicate
with her. How can she survive with no friend to share things with, especially
her love of photography.
Scott Frazier, youth pastor at Valley Christian Church,
grows closer to Suzanne and Dominique as he seeks to help Dominique fit into
the church youth group. At the same time, he finds that Suzanne is a woman he
would like to get to know better. Little does he know what danger that may put
him in.
Although Suzanne’s brother Michael, a US Marshall who has
arranged for them to be hidden in Harper Valley, assures her that her past will
not find her, she soon realizes all the precautions they have taken have
failed. She is being stalked. Their hiding place has been discovered. Will her
ex-husband follow through on his promise?
