The whole area was lit up with powerful lights. A fracus was developing down in "no mans land" between the inner and outer fence.

Excerpt
Judy Davenport, camp director, is quizzing Rodney about his daughter:
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't be so inquisitive. I guess I find it a bit unusual to hear a single father who has raised a daughter so successfully."
"Well, I wouldn't say it has been by myself. I'm sure I have had a lot of help along the way. And I am sure Cindy has had a lot to do with it herself. She's pretty independent."

I was surprised to learn that CINDY'S SECOND CHANCE was actually a story of a girl growing up with a single parent green beret soldier father.
