Prologue
Melinda Prudence Haliwell was the youngest child of Leo Wyatt and Piper Haliwell. The Haliwell Family was a family anyone would be proud to be a member of; especially if 'anyone' came from the magical community. Her mother, Piper, was the oldest of the Charmed Ones. Her father, Leo, was a whitelighter who fell from Grace so that he could be with the woman he loved, and now was the Headmaster of Magic School.
Melinda had two older brothers, Wyatt and Chris. Her mother united with her father, who was then a Whitelighter, and together they brought forth Wyatt, the twice blessed child born on the most powerful magical day in centuries. Chris was conceived when her father was an elder and was the hero of the family. He traveled back in time to save Wyatt from turning evil, and therefore secured the future for the entire Haliwell line. Melinda was born after her father fell from Grace, meaning that he became mortal. Which, in essence, made both Chris and Wyatt twice blessed, and Melinda merely half mortal half witch.
Wyatt and Chris were good brothers to Melinda. Given that Melinda was the only girl, she was treated like a queen. Her brothers, and her father, pampered her as if she were made of glass. They always made it a point to tell her how very special she was. Of course, this left Melinda wondering what her worth in the family really was. It was because of her need to find her self worth that this story came to pass. A story of her family, her history, and the shocking revelation that she discovered.
