"My life was a facade, a set up of white smiles and gentle hands. But all of it was a lie. My life wasn't perfect, my family was far from innocent and I wanted to know why. All my life they had fed me lies, they had told me that everything was ok, that nothing was wrong, but no longer was I going to swallow their deceit. I was going to figure out where their money came from, why they never spoke business with me, and why there was a private investigator asking me questions about them. I was ready to find out the truth, one way or another." ~ Melanie Greenfield Melanie grew up in a privileged and lavish life. Never did she have to worry about where her next meal was coming, or whether or not she could afford those new shoes. But as Melanie soon learns, dirty money is worse than no money at all. Her family is scheming behind her back, and soon people are going missing and Melanie is starting to believe that her family has a part in it. All it takes is one crack to make a glass shatter, and Melanie Greenfield discovers that her family is so close to breaking. Their lies and deceit are coming to light, and Melanie may just be the one to add that final crack, that finally miniscule mark, that leads to her family's downfall. Melanie has to decide what is more important: the truth, or family? Cover credit to @Aphrodite270
