This is a 2023 Lifetime TV drama based on the "Cutler" books by Virginia Andrews. There are four feature long episodes, and the first is called "Dawn," second is "Secrets of the Morning" and the third is called "Twilight's Child". Directed by Jacqui Gould and stars Brec Bassinger, Khobe Clarke and Joey McIntyre.
The end of the previous episode saw Dawn sent away to live with abusive Emily, the sister of grandmother Lillian and aunt Charlotte. Dawn has her baby daughter named Christie who then mysteriously disappears. Soon Dawn's adopted brother James rescues her from the miserable house.
After Dawn gets Christie back, we discover more. After Lilian died, it's revealed that Dawn is the true born daughter of William Cutler who left a Will making Dawn the main proprietor of the estate and running of the business. Dawn and James marry, then they reunite with Fern. They meet Gavin Longchamp, the half brother of James and Fern. Despite the fairy-tale Happily Ever After, it's not all sunshine and roses!
This episode was full of twists so I rate is a good 10/10. Ignore the youthfulness of the same actors playing characters who've become older!
What I liked was the surprise gift from Dawn's father.
What I disliked about it was evil Clara.
