“Would you be willing to destroy David to get the children back? An accusation can work wonders.”
“At this point I’d be willing to do or say anything. But what if he fights it and they realize the accusations aren’t true? Couldn’t I get into trouble?”
“That’s the beauty of it. No one’s going to come back and investigate whether you lied. The court dockets are too full for that. What’ve you got to lose?”
So begins the chain of events that turns a single dad’s idyllic home into an agony of solitude. Shattered by the accusation, David must fight shame and dejection to win his children back as his life crumbles around him.
Based in part on the author’s personal experiences, the novel reminds us that unselfish love between parent and child is a treasure worth fighting for.
James Crawford is also the author of Mariner Valley, Seed of Aldebaran, and books in other genres. He lives in Charleston, SC and can be reached at AuthorJamesCrawford@gmail.com.
