After her parents died, Julie Jacobs left her small hometown and the safety and security her sister provided to take a job as a nurse companion to an elderly woman at luxurious Bigelow Manor on the outskirts of Buffalo, New York. Julie soon found herself in a maze of mystery and intrigue. The young nurse couldn't help wondering why Brad, her patient's stern, terse son had insisted on seeing her photo before summoning her to Buffalo. It was as if he deliberately hired her because she resembled a mystery woman in the portrait that hung in his library . a woman he hated.
