A majority of taxes are payed by the rich (top 20% of earners pay 84% of taxes - Wall Street Journal), while those who make less money, or no money, pay less (or no) taxes, while still benefiting from government entities (schools, parks, etc.).

Alexandra St. Clair was in love with her college sweetheart Christopher Mason. One day Christopher decides they need a vacation, he makes plans for them to have a wonderful ski weekend. Alexandra's father didn't like Christopher at all and told them both. During their weekend Alexandra had a tragic accident. From that point her father tries to destroy her relationship with Christopher.
Alex's father made me angry. He could plainly see that his daughter was hurt by the breakup. He was a selfish man and had secrets of his own.
I was disappointed with this book because some of the questions were not answered. It was kind of like a movie cliffhanger with no sequel.

Now I am wondering if Ms. Wilson-Harris created a sequel to answer these questions.
