Half-sisters Silver and Athalie Greeves have grown up worlds apart. Silver is a humble, faith-filled young lady; Athalie is a flapper who takes after her socialite mother. When a chance visit suddenly reunites Silver and Athalie with each other and a father they’ve never known, will a true family emerge where only a family by name existed before? Terrance Bannard, the local minister, is soon taken by Silver’s beauty and spirit, but will a rising jealousy from younger sister Athalie force Silver to sacrifice love for the sake of her family?

“Was this then his child? . . . How unexpected! How impossible! How terrible!”
Half-sisters Silver and Athalie Greeves have lived their entire lives separated from their father, Patterson, until the death of Silver’s grandparents and the whim of Athalie’s socialite mother bring both daughters face-to-face with a father they’ve never known—and a sister they never knew they had. A shocked Patterson wants nothing more than to send his two daughters away again, for the lovely Silver is a mirror image of her mother—Patterson’s lost love—and Athalie’s scandalous behavior makes her a disgrace to the family name.
But Silver does not remain rejected for long. Soon Patterson begins to accept the daughter he once cast away, while the local minister, Terrance Bannard, becomes captivated by Silver’s beauty and spirit. When Athalie’s rising jealousy causes her to lash out even more, Silver finds herself caught between two choices—either a father’s love and a chance at romance or her younger sister’s future.
