Skeletons in the Closetby Jennifer Lynn HartMaggie Phillips hasn’t had it easy.

On the home front, her twelve-year-old son is growing up way too fast, while her brother is back with a few surprises destined to wreak havoc on the household. To frost the whole crappy cake, her best friend’s marriage is falling apart, which leaves Maggie worrying over her own. All of the family drama is put into perspective, however, when Maggie is arrested for kidnapping and blackmail. Between economic woes and a no $0.99 Previously $5.99 |
