In the 4th installment of the Jezebel series, Anabeth had dreams but put them aside to marry the young pastor chosen by her parents.

When her daughter threatens to destroy the perfectly painted family picture that Anabeth has created, she is forced to make some choices and keep secrets that will haunt her for the rest of her life.
