Abstract:
Christmas week can be warm, cozy and wonderful, unless you’re a very expensive Call Girl with costly memories, deep secrets and buried pain…immeasurable…unbearable pain. Politicians, professors, business executives, she’s know them all. But now they’re looking for her…who? She doesn’t know…searching, showing her new friends a glamour picture of her, asking questions. The fear of exposure, if they find her, while overwhelming, is dwarfed by what they might do, memories of beatings, what they might say, what they might reveal. What they might find out. There is more then anyone knows. More then Jerrey, Bud, Burt, the Sheriff, Tim…more then they know…more then the entire community knows. Much more. And then there’s the wedding. Weddings can be beautiful this time of year especially with many friends and a large family planning together…unless it’s the wrong man…the wrong man! And you’re trapped, with no way out. A lifetime of missed love, awaits Gwen and exposure awaits Shelley. Trapped, bundled over in fear, they both wonder where Grace has gone while Emergency and Maternity rooms, Intensive Care, Bill Jr. and Joy’s baby, Angelic visits and conspiracy sweeps over the community. Where is Grace? Where?
