Folks in Northport called Kitty the meanest woman in town, but she couldn't forget how they had duped her brother and exploited her family's land. It was hard to be mean, though, when Joel Carmody was around: he sometimes took her a little for granted when it came to two-year-old Mary, but his calm good humour made Kitty feel like a new woman. Nevertheless, a Carmody was a Carmody, and they meant money and power to the townspeople...could Kitty really trust Joel, or was he like all the rest?
