Dawn's daughter Christie was given up for adoption by Grandmother Cutler, and the couple who adopted her, the Comptons, changed her name to Violet. However, Dawn and Jimmy quickly get Christie back. Dawn takes up running Cutler's Cove hotel, after Grandmother Cutler death. Randolph, Dawn's stepfather and half-brother, is haunted by the death of his mother, becomes depressed and drinks excessively. The only thing the makes him happy is Christie.

Dawn marries Jimmy, and her brother Phillip acts as best man. Phillip, who had obsessed over Dawn since finding out they were related in the first place, acts strangely during during the wedding, muttering the vows under his breath as if he was marrying Dawn. Also, Randolph is not at the ceremony to give Dawn away, so Bronson Alscott, a friend of Laura-Sue's (Dawn's mother) does instead.

Dawn quickly becomes pregnant, Randolph dies, Bronson Alscott and Laura-Sue marry. Dawn decides her sister, Clara-Sue should go live with Bronson and Laura-Sue (note: Clara-Sue has been revealed by this time to be Bronson's daughter, "not even having Cutler blood") and has her things moved there. When Clara-Sue comes home and finds out about Dawn's decision she becomes angry and beats Dawn, causing her to miscarry. She also terrorizes Christie.

Phillip graduates from college, but Clara-Sue embarrasses them at the graduation ceremony. Phillip marries Betty-Ann, but still obsesses over Dawn. Since her miscarriage, Dawn has been unable to become pregnant. Phillip almost rapes Dawn when Jimmy is away, telling Dawn that he could get her pregnant unlike Jimmy. Dawn sends him away. Betty-Ann has twins Melanie and Richard, and Phillip thinks of Melanie for Betty-Ann and Richard for Dawn.

Christie's father, Michael Sutton appears, and tries to blackmail Dawn, but this doesn't work.

Jimmy decides to follow up what happened to Fern, his sister who was adopted when she was just a baby. Fern was adopted by Clayton and Leslie Osbourne, who changed her named to Kelly Ann. Dawn and Jimmy are not allowed to tell Fern who they are to her, but she knows and follows them back home. Fern tells them that Clayton sexually abused her, so Jimmy and Dawn take custody of Fern. Fern initially seems sweet and helpful, but soon proves to steal things from around the hotel, smoke in the basement with older boys, and be promiscuous. She also admits that Clayton didn't sexually abuse her.

Dawn realized Fern was lying about Clayton when she came upon a magazine article that mirrors Fern's accusations. She calls her husband and they confront Fern about lying. Fern comes clean and admits she made up the whole story.

The book ends with Dawn telling Jimmy that she is pregnant, and Jimmy will be a father.
