BLURB:
Thirty-four-year
old social worker, Kacee Robinson, runs a non-profit agency helping women and
children move away from bad situations. Kacee moved away from her own bad
situation years ago and pledged never to return to her hometown of Glendale,
Texas, or to the mother who abandoned her right smack in the middle of her
hateful pre-adolescent years—just when she needed her most.
Now
it is Kacee’s mother who needs something from her. With the entire town
rallying behind the cry, Kacee has a decision to make. She can put aside
everything she thought she ever knew about this woman who made a feeble attempt
at raising her, return to the town, and conduct the necessary business like the
grown-up professional she knows she is. Or she can stand her ground, continuing
to struggle with the nagging questions and residual scars of her childhood.
Before
she can make a decision, Kacee fears her life may be in danger and a rapid turn
of events prompts resolutions that cannot be undone, setting into motion a
slide of events as slick as the oil-engendered family from which Kacee was
born.
The
echoes of the past reach out to her while in Glendale, grabbing on and not
letting go as they wind her down a country road through pages of her mother’s
journals and twisting her into an unexpected new fate from which she will never
be the same.

EXCERPT
Nobody ever
expects to get the one phone call that will change their life. They expect it
less to come from a crotchety old biddy regarded as the town gossip. Yet,
sitting at my desk at TrueU, the non-profit agency I own, on a perfectly good
November day in the perfectly good town of Glendale, Texas, my perfectly good
life (okay that part is a lie), but my reasonably mundane life was disrupted by
none other than the infamous Edna McIntyre.
Having already
dealt with a domestic violence situation and spoken with child protective
services over a custody battle—all prior to ten a.m.—I slumped behind my large
mahogany desk in exhaustion, head buried in my hands and noted those same
fingers to be in desperate need of a manicure. The southern drawl of my
assistant Dottie broke through the intercom like the shattering of glass,
tearing me out of concentration.
