Paths We Walk Trilogy

It was supposed to be a week or two in her old hometown; her mother characterized it as a favor for the family. Just go and oversee the last step in closing her great-aunt’s estate. Empty out the house and hire a realtor to sell it; there’d be a nice amount of cash at the end.
Yes, it was in her old hometown, Derry, Tennessee, the place she had left twenty years ago, vowing never to return…but it was time to say a proper goodbye to Seth.
However, life is capricious; even the commonplace can take an unexpected turn. She had never met the electrician or the apprentice. She had barely known, or known about, the criminal; he should have still been in prison, shouldn’t he? All these men were waiting for her in Derry, along with the overpowering memories of her lost high school friend.
And the nightmares.
This mundane trip back would turn her life sideways and cause her to contemplate decisions she never could have imagined just a month before; decisions that put her life in danger. And more importantly, the life of the one who had captured her heart.
She’ll leave Derry completely broken; spiritually, emotionally, and physically. But that is just the beginning of a journey of redemption which will take Roxie through every emotion a person can suffer, or maybe survive.
She’ll have to claw her way up from deep despair for any chance at the joy that was so fleeting. It will mean starting again from scratch and getting through each day just to find her way back home.
