Is Miranda Craig dead? Her best friend identified the dead body in a hospital bed as Miranda's. And now her body is missing!

The upcoming Christmas holiday had been stressful for Miranda as she struggled to get the house and menu ready for the family get together. But a number of upper respiratory illnesses slowed her down. Then Christmas Eve, she was hospitalized with severe abdominal pains.

Finding the cause to her illness was only the beginning. Two potentially dangerous medical procedures were required in an attempt to get her back on the path to wellness while unknown assailants were out to do her harm.

Miranda always knew she was adopted. But when her kids urged her to find her roots through genetic testing she couldn't have imagined the results. She not only found her birth mother, but family secrets that would lead to murder.
