SPRING GARDEN Tucked in the suburbs of South Jersey lived a family just like all others except Jean Moore was a battered women. She never dreamed that living your dream meant fighting for your life. Her family meant everything to her and she wanted to be a good wife and mother, but no matter what she did was good enough for her husband Joseph. Joseph Moore grew up watching his mother being knocked around and his father telling him that's what you have to do every now and then. He thought that would help him keep her but it only helped her to leave. He loved his wife and kids and didn't want to let them go, but he didn't know how to keep them either. He would rather kill her then let some other man have his wife, but he had no choice. She was always the kind of women that never had a problem of speaking her mind and found her daughter Meagan just like her. But she managed to let this man silence her.

After she healed he saw it was all worth the wait. She was able to reunite with her family that Joseph had kept her from. Even though it was too late for her and her father. Her father died and left her a home in a place called Spring Garden. He knew there she would be able to rebuild her life and start anew. Spring Garden is the one place she always felt safe, and found it was the best place to start the rest of their new life in a new way. Joseph would try to win his wife and family back one last time. Instead of him finding his wife ready to run back into his arms she was ready to fill those of Steven Vance.
