Rescued

Calliope King has come across some strange and unsettling situations as a social worker. None of them compare to what she finds at the end of Abernathy Lane. The Maxwells claim to be a family that believes in simple living and quiet devotion., but Callie has a feeling that something else is going on at their farm. Their clothing from centuries past, unnaturally silent children, and the fact that Callie can't find a trace of them in public records has her starting to believe that the Maxwell's placid farm hides something much more sinister than a family choosing to live apart from the modern world. Callie enlists her friend, private detective Xavier Ramos, in her quest to find out more about the Maxwells. What he finds only muddies the situation further. Missing people, false identities, and suspicious deaths seem to follow the family everywhere they go. As they dive deeper into the mystery, they soon realize that the Maxwells know that Callie and Xavier are looking into their lives. And they are not happy about it. Can Callie and Xavier discover what's hiding under the pleasant exterior of the farm at the end of Abernathy Lane? Who exactly are Charity and Simon Maxwell, and what are they doing that they want to keep hidden? And exactly how far will they go to protect their secrets?..M.F
