   Summary

   After living all of his childhood neglected of his biological father's love, Elliot Matthews finally sums up the resentment driven courage to go through with the plan of acquiring George Hardy's will. Instead, he's met with guilt he'd promised he wouldn't feel when the dying shepherd confides to him.

   Or

   Peter Van Vuren must complete what he’s started. Regardless of how it’s affecting him and the unexpecting relationship with Tim Derry.
