A Intriguing start that makes me want more!!

I absolutely love the cover!! It gives you the feeling of a small, happy home town, yet from the very beginning you see that does not seem to be the case. It's brilliant!!! Carel sees a fire in town before dawn and goes down to see it. At the very start I am questioning his motives. It's his friends buildings who is on fire, yet as soon as he gets there, he is making plans on what to do with the property even though he does not own it. Who is this man? Why is he the big shot in this little town? What happens to Willow? I need to know!!! The poor girl and her mother were left by Carel, How does their story end? Does Willows cutting continue and consume her or will things change for the better for her? I HAVE to find out what happens!
