The Crow family is as old as Warbler Bay itself, among its earliest settlers who painstakingly constructed our beloved port town from its nascent days. Timothy and Victoria Crow spearheaded the settlement's establishment along the sea coast. It took the crew four years to complete the future home of the Crow family, during which time Timothy and Victoria welcomed three children into the world: Diana, Mary, and Isaac Crow. It was rumored that Isaac had many partners in his time, some more willing than others. One infamous night, he set his sights on a young lady at a tavern despite warnings about her mysterious past. Isaac pursued her relentlessly. She rebuffed his advances, but Isaac was not accustomed to rejection. If only he had heeded the warnings about her.

Raleigh Sulla was, up until a few weeks ago, a regular small town girl. She lived in a big house, went to a small school, was a brilliant artist, had a few friends, and read avidly.

Now, she is forced to make a choice: stay in her comfortable, familiar world, with her friends (and her crush), or join her unknown family in America, in a new school, new friends, and a new life.
