Chapter 453

• The Hargrove family had four children: three sons, one biological daughter, and an adopted daughter who had been brought into the family years ago.
• The adoption had been their mother’s way of coping after their stubborn eldest daughter, Lisa, went missing as a child.
• Losing Lisa had left a void that nothing else could fill. The adopted girl had been welcomed with warmth, though everyone knew she could never truly replace Lisa.
