The Excerpt

About the Book

Captivated by the beauty of the young woman who directs a program to educate underprivileged children, Bob Garrett chooses to extend his stay at the assistance center in the hill country of Kentucky. Being financially able to help the center obtain some much needed equipment, he gains the gratitude and respect of the other volunteers of the group.

What becomes most important is his discovery that the young woman is as attracted to him as he is to her. The relationship thrives on the peaceful tranquility in the  complex until it is interrupted on two separate occasions; first by an evil outsider, and later by the operators of an illegal still, who see the center as a threat to their own ambitions to control the local residents.
