Then Along Came Roxie

Abbey Rhodes has dreams. Big dreams of finding Mr. Right and being the mother of many children. Not so uncommon for a young girl, but Abbey is far from common. Brought up in an anti-social household, she retreats to her imagination where unicorns and rainbows are her only friends.

Abbey discovers a secret hideaway on her family’s acreage, a refuge she names Flat Top. There she hides her treasures, including discarded romance novels on which she bases her future love life.

Enter the handsome and charming Codell Hicks, who appears to match Abbey’s detailed list of qualifications for her Prince Charming. Codell is enamored with the lovely Abbey and her to-die-for body. He learns the hard way that beauty is an excellent disguise for a derailed mind.

As fate would have it, a child is thrown into Abbey and Codell’s life–Roxie. What a perfect solution to their predicament! Or is she? Watch what happens to their happy little home once Daddy leaves for work….

And oh, the draw of Flat Top, with its own secrets and terrifying cliff. What’s that lurking in the bushes?

Set in the old school South, Then Along Came Roxie is a fascinating and sometimes frightening glimpse of how a disturbed mind deals with disappointment and perceived injustices.
