One twin struggles with autobiographical amnesia. The other has been lost at sea. Or has she?Reconnect with the glamorous, tumultuous world of the extended Taylor family, including the ever-hopeful Ashleigh, who trusts her intuition and persists in learning the truth while protecting her three daughters; her grieving husband Conrad, the dedicated CEO who must also face the fate of Jordon''s employees in a changing retail climate; and spunky, college-aged Juliana, who kindles an even deeper appreciation among the sisters-and a far stronger perception of their cherished roles in each other''s lives. Webs of Perception, the final novel in Darlene Quinn''s Webs series, takes the Taylor family on a gripping emotional journey, disembarking in New York, Paris, London, and Long Beach as they face their greatest challenges in love and loyalty.

But she realizes too late that she has been targeted in a sinister scheme for ransom.  Quinn''s vivid cast of characters returns in this high-tension, stand-alone sequel.

While some mothers can unintentionally do unspeakable harm to their children, Ashleigh''s steel-magnolia efforts to wrest her daughter from her captor redeem the sacredness of that role.

Hours later, a parent''s worst nightmare occurs: one of her daughters is kidnapped.

Each of the novel''s complementary storylines--Paige Toddman''s reunion with her mother, Viviana De Mornay''s secret, and others--ties to the redemptive theme of motherhood. Suspense electrifies the pages of every short, fast-paced chapter of each book in the standalone Webs series!Webs of FateWebs of PowerTwisted WebsUnpredictable WebsConflicting Webs
