But &quot;Reality Check&quot; is a program that claims to turn American dreams into the real thing, and Abby figures that if anyone deserves that kind of bonanza, it's Emma Lopez, who has been raising her three younger siblings since her mother disappeared. Abby is determined to help Emma realize her dream of a reunion-even when it becomes clear that someone out there doesn't believe in happy endings.]]>

    <![CDATA[8 audiocassettes.<br/>Ben Garrison is poisoned with cyanide while Abby Rose languishes by her swimming pool not fifty feet away. But that's not his real name, and he wasn't working at her mansion in Houston because he needed a job. He had another agenda that, unknown to Abvby, involved her. After his death, she discovers he was not who he claimed to be. As Abby searches for the truth, she unearths a generation of lies amid a web of deceit, forgery and blackmail. The more Abby uncovers about the past, the more disturbed and disrupted her small world becomes. Abby's life is in grave danger when those who wish the past undisturbed take action against her . . .]]>
