The Calm Before the Storm

Greg and Jeanne Miller had a vision for their backyard—a sanctuary in Old Sacramento where summer afternoons would stretch on endlessly, filled with laughter and relaxation. They dedicated themselves to turning a rundown property into their dream oasis, sacrificing comfort and savings every step of the way.

Finally, after years of hard work, they stood proudly beside their gleaming pool, smiling wide with pride. Though they didn’t have children of their own, they loved hosting their nieces and nephews for days filled with water games and joy. But one seemingly perfect afternoon, unexpected guests arrived, and everything changed. The tranquility they’d worked so hard for would soon be shattered.
