A lot has happened in the few months since Christian Psychologist Elizabeth Daily first came to Tapestry Court for a Sabbatical. She solved a ten year old mystery, made lifelong friends, and married the love of her life. All seems normal until she and Galen have their first argument, a brutal murder happens during a local theatrical production in which several Tapestry Court residents are involved, and the new garage reconstruction leaves the gated community vulnerable to outside attacks. Elizabeth draws on her knowledge of human nature and with the help of eleven year old Chuck Tate eventually tracks down the murderer. But there are other surprises in Tapestry Court - more family secrets revealed, another wedding, and... surely there's not witchcraft going on in the small town of Simpsonton.
