Mother, Sister, Daughter (ePub)

Melissa Logan; newly married; gave birth to twin girls Kristen and Susanna. Susanna was placed up for adoption because Melissa was afraid she would have to raise them alone as her husband; Sgt. Lonnie Logan of the US Army; was serving overseas. Sergeant Logan had no idea of the adoption and thought there was only one child.

Sergeant Logan retired early because of an injury and developed a terrible drinking problem. There were several occasions where he became verbally and physically abusive. On a family vacation in Hawaii; Lonnie became very intoxicated and physically abused a native Hawaiian bartender and his now seventeen-year-old daughter Kristen. As a result; Lonnie was jailed for twenty-four hours.

While Lonnie was in jail; Melissa and Kristen attended a luau where she met a lady and her daughter. The daughter's name was Susanna; and she had the same birth date as Kristen. Susanna and Kristen became good friends and kept in touch.

Once back in the United States; Lonnie and Melissa had a terrible fight while he was intoxicated. The fight ended in Lonnie's death. Melissa and Kristen went on the run.

Susanna; unaware of the incident that had taken place; decided to pay Kristen a surprise visit and found herself in jail for the murder of Lonnie Logan because she looked so much like Kristen and couldn't prove her identity. Melissa came forward to reveal the adoption and accepted responsibility.
