It had been almost a year since Charity Mariposa made her grand entrance as the new girl in Alley, TN - rich, snobby, and too pretty to befriend. Although she still hated this new life and new place - it was getting easier and less awful with each rooster's crow. She was finally making friends with the in crowd, started getting a little taste of independence and freedom again in the form of a 1 bedroom whatwereyouthinking right above the bank, and even sort of had a secret admirer-turned-boyfriend. She was finally starting to feel somewhat comfortable in this little hick town.. until her first month there hunts her down like prey and rips her whole world apart, leaving her an empty shell of her former self. She has to figure out who is safe to turn to anymore, how to go about ensuring justice is served in this "good ol' boy" system county, and find the strength to stay when all she really wants to do is run away.
This is a story depicting the real dangers of jealousy and love, the true crimes within crooked justice systems, and the power of God and prayer.
