Chapter One
Under the Kentucky sky, Hope Walker stood at the creek’s edge watching the rippling waves of the clear water that beckoned her forward. She welcomed the invitation and bent down to remove her black leather shoes and stockings. Placing them at the edge of the creek, she took a few steps into the stream before pulling the hemline of her plain cotton dress up.

Her mother missed her family and suffered emotionally because of the exclusion. If it hadn’t been for her father’s support, her mother might have lost it long before she passed away.

She closed her cobalt eyes and held her face up to the sun allowing the rays to warm her dewy skin. Taking in deep breaths, she took in the thick smell of pine and wood. The outdoors relaxed her.
After a few minutes in the creek, Hope opened her eyes and lowered her head to look down at her skirt. She had unknowingly released her skirt while she was
