Never one to let a wall deter him, Bart develops a relationship with the woman, who asks that he call her ‘grandmother’, seeking gifts and promises at every turn. This veiled and elderly woman seems to have a full complement of staff, including a curt butler who keeps them away from the wall separating the properties. When a wealthy woman moves in next door, both boys develop an interest in learning more about their neighbour. While both know their fathers have passed on, neither Bart nor Jory realise that Chris is not their true step-father-the story they have been told-and that their mother has been fostering numerous secrets from her past. With Bart and Jory alongside them, Cathy’s boys are ready to enjoy a quieter life. Chris and Cathy have tried to do this, fleeing the horrors of South Carolina and Virginia for the wonders of California.
