Was there any meaning to life?
Grace was outraged. Her wedding was only two months away. If what her sister Jo had told her about their adoptive father was true, she didn’t want him to have any part in her wedding. When she confronted him, he threatened to cut her off entirely. What would she do about wedding plans now?
