Hello Beautiful

With Julia comes her family, as she and her three sisters are inseparable. With Julia’s family, William experiences a newfound contentment; like a family he never had before.

But soon William’s past darkness surfaces and causes immense rifts in his new -found family as well. Will the loyalty that once rooted them be strong enough to draw them back together when it matters most?
