Or she can stand her ground, continuingto struggle with the nagging questions and residual scars of her childhood.
Beforeshe can make a decision, Kacee fears her life may be in danger and a rapid turnof events prompts resolutions that cannot be undone, setting into motion aslide of events as slick as the oil-engendered family from which Kacee wasborn.
Theechoes of the past reach out to her while in Glendale, grabbing on and notletting go as they wind her down a country road through pages of her mother’sjournals and twisting her into an unexpected new fate from which she will neverbe the same.

ExcerptThree:
Aunt Jackie rolled her eyes in mock annoyance, but it wasclear she enjoyed his company. "You got it!" she said, matching histwinkle with hers. I heard the front door close, and it was just the two of usgirls again. An old familiar feeling cast over me.
I followed her round figure to the back bedroom, admiringher thick curly hair as it swooshed from side to side, falling over the side ofthe wide neck of her housecoat.
She stepped aside at the threshold, and I stopped abruptlyas I saw inside the room that had always been mine when I came to visit. She'dtidied up and put fresh linens on the bed, and sitting square in the middle wasBob the Unicorn, my prized possession and childhood confidante. The scenebefore me took me right back to my teenage years on a weekend getaway to herhouse. Time spent at Aunt Jackie's meant following none of Mom's rules and allof Jackie’s (which involved a lot of late, giggly nights and equal amounts ofice cream). Our days together stretched in sticky taffy ropes of brownies forbreakfast and entire fall afternoons spent painting and napping, junk shoppingand then creating the most fantastic art pieces out of that junk---justbecause.
