For a whole month she is in the hospital recovering from her injuries and still no one will tell her where her brother is. Then her life change even farther. She gets taken in by her neighbor who has five other kids only two being her own, and Catherine has to suppress her feelings about Mrs. Harlingtons son, Jason, who sadly reminds her of her brother each day.
