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 Three:

 

Aunt Jackie rolled her eyes in mock annoyance, but it was clear she enjoyed his company. "You got it!" she said, matching his twinkle with hers. I heard the front door close, and it was just the two of us girls again. An old familiar feeling cast over me.

 

I followed her round figure to the back bedroom, admiring her thick curly hair as it swooshed from side to side, falling over the side of the wide neck of her housecoat.

 

She stepped aside at the threshold, and I stopped abruptly as I saw inside the room that had always been mine when I came to visit. She'd tidied up and put fresh linens on the bed, and sitting square in the middle was Bob the Unicorn, my prized possession and childhood confidante. The scene before me took me right back to my teenage years on a weekend getaway to her house. Time spent at Aunt Jackie's meant following none of Mom's rules and all of Jackie’s (which involved a lot of late, giggly nights and equal amounts of ice cream). Our days together stretched in sticky taffy ropes of brownies for breakfast and entire fall afternoons spent painting and napping, junk shopping and then creating the most fantastic art pieces out of that junk---just because.
