Sins of the Father Lisa Beth Darling

Hannah Rice comes home to recover after emergency brain surgery. Greatly immobile, Hannah begins to fall into a deep depression. In order to make her time in their tiny house more bearable, Mason begins sending for the items locked away in storage for decades. As each box arrives Mason finds out more about his sister, his biological family, and himself. Yet these may be things that are better left alone in the dark as each brings with it jagged memories that scream to be awoken in Hannah's fragile mind. As she struggles between what is real, what is memory, and what is false, Nick "The Stud" Jackson, a dusky physical therapist at the Mountainside assigned to Hannah's case, steps in to offer a hand. The rain. To Hannah it seems it never stops raining. The storm outside and the one always brewing in her mind crash together as one sending her fleeing into the streets of Wellington in a fit of madness. As the last of the painful family secrets come to light it's up to Mason, and his unconventional methods to help Hannah confront the ugliness of her past in hopes that she can set upon the path to regaining her life.
