Description
Learning to play the hand she was dealt, Carlotta looked forward to her twenty-first birthday when she would no longer be under the authority of her Aunt and Uncle. She had been used as their whipping boy when their own daughters misbehaved or became unruly. Rather then reprimand Sandra or Tiffany, they would take out their displeasure on Carlotta. It had always been verbal abuse until they were spending the summer at Lake Champlain.
There, Carlotta befriended an old man that loved to swim as much as she did. She could avoid her Aunt, Uncle and cousins by spending time swimming to the island and back. When Uncle Sylas learned that his daughter Tiffany had snuck off with a boy, he blamed Carlotta and dragged her from the beach at sunrise. She was beaten unmercifully until the butler pulled him off.
Hank found out about the beating and had the maid pack up all her belongings to take to his home. It wasn't the last time he would become her rescuer.
