A young man searches to discover dark truths and solve a mystery that has eluded him for years. Will he find his lost love and thwart his enemy?

This coming of age novel captures all the trauma, heartaches, conflicts, and capers of a young man as he returns to his boyhood farm.

Through reviewing picture albums with his girlfiend, he relates the story of his life as it points to his mother's dark secrets, a horrendous event that separates him from his high school love, and a past enemy who is working to sabotage his company.

What will he find out about his mother that will shake him to the core? Can he ever forgive her? What happened to Tee, his lost love? Who is trying to banrupt his business? There is a common thread that ties together all the answers to these questions.



Excerpt

This could not be the mother who had been the bulwark of strength, the mother who marched me back to Davies Five and Ten when I snatched a Match Box car and slipped it into my overalls, the mother who scaled the rafters to bring down my Max, then a kitten, the mother who expertly splinted my leg when I tumbled from the tractor, the mother who cheered at every track meet, the one who labored side by side with Pa and me in the fields.
Is it even possible that that mother somehow resides in this frail frame lying there eclipsed by age and illness? That mother departed from my reality and journeyed into the tunnels of my memories back before the cataclysmic event forever changed our lives.
I can’t do this. I headed for the door.
