there. As flash floods ominously increase, Julie’s investigative reporting uncovers secrets that could

When a devastating tragedy follows a shocking revelation, Julie’s courage and strength are tested.
Will truth and justice win, or will Julie lose everything she holds dear?

EXCERPT
In my journal I logged this comment: "On
the day that I was officially a grown woman, I felt anything but feminine
rather, befouled from the sweat of hard physical labor and the stinking mud. I
wanted nothing so much as to sleep for a week."
