Excerpt
She slapped her hands over her open mouth and gasped in shock. The trailer she had just spent three days diligently cleaning and trying to make it a home had seemingly been destroyed in a matter of minutes.
Every drawer had been pulled out and their broken contents were now scattered across the floor in a state of disarray. The once neatly organized stacks of plates and cups now lay in ruins beneath her feet, and the few cupboard doors that hadn’t been torn from their hinges were open and swinging freely.
Steven, still unaware of Tammy’s presence, was now in the bed- room with his back facing her. As Tammy raced in his direction, fueled with hatred, she could see the bed had been torn apart. Sheets and blankets were tossed into corners, and the mattress lay on its side against a wall.
In a blind rage, Steven was pulling everything out of the cupboards above the bed and launching their belongings around the room.
Diving between the flying objects, Tammy ran over to him. “Steven! Stop! What are you doing?” she yelled while grabbing him by the shoulders and pulling him back.
He spun around with a fiery glint in his eyes and locked his fingers around her arms. “Where is it, Tammy? What did you do with the bag?” Steven screamed as he rattled her body back and forth under his tight grip.
Kimberly has gone from a well-paid female executive one minute to a desperate woman the next. Thinking her day can't possibly get any worse, she finds out how wrong she is when she goes home. The only way to set things straight is to get even.
(Charlestown, Rhode Island) - Welcome to AILEEN’S GUESTHOUSE where locals and lodgers have more in common than first meets the eye. And, there's plenty of blame to go around.
