A family that is helping others finds itself caught up in the problems of one young man that they cannot seem to help no matter how hard they try. His attitude toward life and toward others as well as his actions find him in ever escalating situations. His name seems to be trouble and he always seems to start it. Billy Crosby seems to harm everything and everyone he touches.

Jody's father was murdered and her mother disappeared when she was three years old. Billy Crosby was convicted of the crime. Now Jody is grown up and has moved into their home. However, her life has turned upside down. Billy Crosby is out of jail and returning to the small town of Rose and vowing to get even.

Not certain I can forgive the author or her editors for a glaring error in this novel. A thunderstorm takes out the electricity on page 282 of this issue after which the woman walks in front of a mirror, naked, and admires her body from all angles in the dark. Furthermore, once her husband is killed, the killer cleans the bedroom, bathrooms, carpets and checks the kitchen, noting that the disarray will protect him - all in the dark! So I gave this novel a mere three stars.
