Allie Carroway is done. With reality TV that is. It seemed fun at first, to be part of a famous family, but life gets embarrassing and challenging especially when every detail of your life is filmed for the world to see. Allie’s cousins, Kendall, Ruby, Lola, and Hunter have had enough too. Each one has experienced some embarrassment, and lately it seems that all they do is complain about the show and how they don’t like having everyone know what is going on in their lives. But when the cousins call a strike, they are quickly reminded that they can’t go back on a decision they made as a family.

But Papaw Ray has a surprise for the kids. He sends them on a trip to escape reality. With hunting season and the holidays just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to take a trip and escape the show—but on one condition. They can’t tell anyone about their adventures, no matter how fun, challenging, or even amazing they are. No cameras or pictures allowed.

Allie, her cousins, and the family head for California and warmer weather, only to find that what’s in store will be the hardest secret they’ve ever had to keep. Especially when what they learn, and the ways God allows them to help others, can give people hope and be light for all to see.

The second book in this series explores the nature of a family filled with social, cultural, and physical diversity. In a world splashed with class and camouflage, the cousins are constantly looking for ways to love unconditionally through all the hiccups, with the love and faith of family.
