Mallard Lakes

About the Book

Life sometimes throws us a curve ball and most of the time it happens just when we think that things are finally going our way. The world as Callie Hudson knew it came tumbling down after discovering that she had been deceived all her life by cold-hearted, wolves in sheep clothing individuals that had concealed lies and secrets about her life causing her to miss an entire chapter of it. This is what lead her down the road to anger, hate, and rage. But lets go back to the beginning, Callie was bubbling over with happiness about everything, her engagement to Gregg, their move to Mallard Lakes and of course she was always grateful for her wonderful parents whom she loved dearly.  Mallard Lakes was a beautiful community right outside of New York City.  It was known for its camp sites, and was considered one of the more popular vacationing spots to take your family.  Callie's parents were a little upset when she told them about their moving there, but when they saw that she had already made up her mind they gave their blessings.  Sure, they were going to miss each other because she was their only child and they spent a lot of time together.  Madeline and Blake Hudson were her entire life until Gregg came along.  The one thing that she was certain of, was that they loved her more than life itself and if she ever wanted to know the truth about anything she could always ask them, they would never ever lie to her.  After all, family is all we have sometimes.  Aren’t they?
