A Life for a Life by Lynda McDaniel
“My life was saved by a murder. At the time, of course, I didn’t understand that. I just knew I was having the best year of my life. Given all the things that happened, I should be ashamed to say it, but that year was a blessing for me.” ~Abit Bradshaw
That’s how this story of suspense and self-discovery begins in 1985 in the small mountain town of Laurel Falls, N.C. After decades as a crime reporter in Washington, D.C., Della Kincaid thinks she’s moved away from all the violence. But a walk in the woods changes everything when she finds a body.
The sheriff calls for what amounts to a coverup. Not so fast, Della argues. She’s spent her life searching for the truth, and she’s not about to stop now. Without her usual sources, she teams up with new friends, including her neighbor–Abit Bradshaw, a teenager struggling to find his rightful place in the world. Along the way, they encounter all kinds of interesting characters, including the best one of all–the lush natural setting of the N.C. mountains.
Will they find the truth before they become the next victims?
Can they find peace in their own lives?
