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.

Nobody ever expects to get the one phone call that will change their life. They expect it less to come from a crotchety old biddy regarded as the town gossip. Yet, sitting at my desk at TrueU, the non-profit agency I own, on a perfectly good November day in the perfectly good town of Glendale, Texas, my perfectly good life (okay that part is a lie), but my reasonably mundane life was disrupted by none other than the infamous Edna McIntyre.
Having already dealt with a domestic violence situation and spoken with child protective services over a custody battle—all prior to ten a.m.—I slumped behind my large mahogany desk in exhaustion, head buried in my hands and noted those same fingers to be in desperate need of a manicure. The southern drawl of my assistant Dottie broke through the intercom like the shattering of glass, tearing me out of concentration.
