Book Cover & Preview Text
I never knew that a child could be born into tragedy and grow into triumph. After all I was never supposed to make it to adulthood. I remember how it all happened deep in the south where the sweltering heat knows no mercy and the people were all acquainted with one another. I remember the evil thing that happened in that house that I never thought I would return to. I remember all that I had endured in my childhood home. I also knew in order for me to fully embrace womanhood I would have to make peace with my childhood. I never thought I‘d see the day when I would make my way back home to this little town that held my past. But my childhood memory of this place would not start out so tragically. Ironically my first recollection of this journey would start in church as a twelve year old girl.

About the Book
Guilty, innocent, or simply a victim of unfortunate circumstances,
In a southern little town in North Carolina, Micah Bean struggles to understand her mother’s sins. As a child being raised by her Grandma Bean, the practice of forgiveness was constantly preached. Micah hated being the daughter of the town drunk and her hardened heart would not allow her to forgive her mother. But when Cherish, a new student, moves into town a new friendship is quickly formed and Micah’s heart is finally softened.
When Grandma Bean is forced to leave town for the weekend she allows Irish to take care of Micah. Initially, Micah is unwilling to spend an entire weekend alone with Irish due to their estranged relationship. It is only when Grandma Bean allows Micah to have her new friend Cherish stay over for a slumber party that Micah agrees to the arrangements. But Irish is up to her old tricks and invites her drug dealer boyfriend Woody to the home for some toxic company. What was initially intended to be a time of bonding between mother and daughter ends up a tragedy by the next morning, leaving one person dead and the other convicted of murder.
