“What’s your name? Are your parents still with us?” Alma–peppered her with questions, her voice filled with urgency. “You bear a striking resemblance to my long–lost daughter.”

Kristin, caught off guard and a little frightened, turned to Rhett for support.

What in the world was happening with the Lewis clan?
