Prologue
In a grimy motel room somewhere in Oklahoma, a woman picked up a newspaper left behind by the last occupant. No shock there, considering the general state of this dive, but the face staring up at her sent the room whirling around her and nausea squeezing in her stomach.
It was her, a brat in her arms, a brave smile on her face. A face the woman in the motel room would know anywhere, no matter how many years had passed. Because she never forgot any of those who had destroyed her.
Most of them, she’d paid back in spades already: the sadistic bitch who’d called herself a mother; the foster father who had raped her, brutally and often; even the juvenile detention officer who’d been such a hard-ass later—every one of them lying in an unmarked grave. But not the one who’d set it all in motion, the one she’d sworn on the memory of all she’d lost to repay—if she could ever find her.
A glance at the photo’s caption gave her the bitch’s married name, and a line in the article revealed the town where she was living.
The town where she would die—but not before she’d learned what real suffering was all about.
