"I absolutely devoured this book! " Cynthia Williams
Laurel Falls, N.C. 1989: I couldn't believe I was in trouble again. I'd finally got what I'd always wanted ... then lost it.
The trouble started when this family-a mother and two almost-grown kids-came to my school, the Hickson School of American Studies in Boone, N.C., to ask for shelter. The mother said she was dying, and they had nowhere else to go after they'd been evicted 'cause she was too sick to work. What her son earned just wasn't enough to live on.
But that was all lies. They were just a bunch of mean-spirited, sorry con artists who stole our money and good intentions. And when they fleeced the school, they made it look like I did it! Next thing I knew, the director threw me outta school.
I snuck home to get help from my neighbor and friend, Della Kincaid. She used to be a crime reporter in Washington, D.C., and I knew she'd know what to do. She did--only she told me I had to do it alone.
Trying to find them again took everything I had-and then some. Along the way, I plowed through those mountains, sometimes meeting fellow victims who were yearning for justice too, but mostly tangling with bad men trying to stop me-permanently! I faced more twists and turns than the road to Damascus, Virginia.
There was no telling who I could trust on that long road to justice, but I ask you: at some point, don't you have to believe in something or someone? Abit Bradshaw
