About You’re It! Book One, Southern Roots, by Lonnie Mounts
Welcome to the mind-boggling life of Bruce Donner who’s been in hiding for over seven years after one fatal night in his hometown of Dandridge, Tennessee. Douglas Lake was the focal point of Dandridge as Bruce, and his friends would spend most of their time either in or around the lake. On one particular night when Bruce was with his childhood friend, Randy “Doc” McKinze, they had a mishap on one of the back roads around the lake. They accidentally ran a car off the road into the lake. They stopped to help but failed in their efforts. They had been drinking but were not drunk. No bodies came to the surface of the lake, which meant no survivors, right? Randy told Bruce to leave, and he would take care of it. “Just hide out at your house and wait for my call. Don’t talk to anybody! Especially your cousin Roger, the cop! Don’t even think about going to your fiancé, Heather either. I’ll take care of this. The less people know, the better off we will be.” Later that night, he received the call and learned of the three lives he had taken that were in the car. He was unable to live with that kind of guilt or bring himself to face his family. With Randy’s persuasion, Bruce decided to run away and hide out. At least his family could deal with a missing family member better than a murderer. Seven years later, Bruce is confronted by his past as he comes face to face with an accuser who happened to see him around Bruce’s roots, his birth town of Roderfield, West Virginia. He had been on the run for all of these years, living the life of a criminal, which he hated and now it seemed he would have to be on the run again… or maybe not. Bruce’s “accuser”, poses a challenge for him, and the adult version of their childhood game “You’re It”, begins!
