1. Samantha

Last Christmas, Samantha Joseph learned her late mother has a brother. He came to Ohio to meet her. They got to know each other over time and the family visited them in their home in London, England.

Now Samantha has been invited to spend part of the summer with the only blood relatives she knows about. She spends time with her aunt and uncle and cousins going to Paris for a weekend, going to the seaside, going to shows in London, and enjoying time with her uncle, learning more about her late mother.

But as her visit is set to come to an end, Samantha is offered a choice.

Does she take it?
