    • Was the Hudson Family destined to live in the shadows of the past? Or would luck shine on the newest generation? The answer lies at... The End of the Rainbow Rain's precious daughter, Summer, is about to turn sixteen. Her future lies wide open before her and she carries her mother's wise advice close to her heart: life is hardship, but above all, life is hope. Like all girls her age, Summer dreams of growing up and making her own life, of falling in love and finding her soul mate. But a devastating tragedy will force Summer to stare into the cold eyes of adulthood long before she is ready. She will learn very quickly about hardship -- but what of hope? Is she as strong as her courageous mother? Or will she crumble? All her life, Summer has lived on the Virginia estate where the Hudson family's secrets have lurked among the shadows for generations. Now it is time for Summer to discover secrets of her own. Some she will keep. Some she will share. Some will force her to flee the only place she has ever called home. And some will haunt her for the rest of her life....

    • In the wake of a terrible loss, Rain is left alone to bear the Hudson family secrets — as dark and forbidding as storm clouds on the horizon... After the death of her beloved Grandmother Hudson, Rain found herself caught in a battle for the vast Hudson family wealth. Marked to inherit millions, Rain faced the fury of her unaccepting mother, her manipulative stepfather, and her cold, vicious Aunt Victoria. But no amount of money can keep Rain's world from crashing down when sudden tragedy strikes. Left helpless after a devastating blow, Rain sinks into despair as her precious dreams are washed away - dreams that cannot be bought with the Hudson fortune. Her only hope for rebuilding her life rests in trusting a stranger who has come into her world — a man whose generosity and kindness does not appear to come with strings attached, much to Rain's amazement. But just as she opens her heart to a promising new future, her past comes back to haunt her — and Rain is pulled into a furious whirlpool of bitterness and heartache.

      Life isn't getting any easier for Rain Arnold. The ghettos of Washington D.C. are a daily reminder that she must struggle to hold on to her dreams. Unlike her tearaway sister, she has battled against the odds to do well at school and to be a good daughter. But Rain can't suppress the feeling that she has never really belonged, that she is a stranger in her own world. Her instincts are confirmed when she overhears a revelation from the past. A long-buried secret is about to change her life beyond recognition. Suddenly everything Rain has ever known is left behind, and Rain is sent to live with the wealthy Hudson family. Just as she never felt a part of the troubled world she was raised in, Rain is also out of place in the luxury and privilege that now surround her. Will Rain ever be able to fulfil her hopes and ambitions -and find a place to call home?
