Torn in Texas - Sandy Appleyard - Bog

She returns home. He watches over her. Then they both find out the truth, amongst a killer...a day too late. Years ago, I left Clarkstown with a sour puss on my face and better hopes for the future. But what I ended up with was extra baggage, in more ways than one, and even more reasons to leave. Now that I'm home, I'm not sure if Austin Walters looks at me with pity, hatred...or something else, as most of the town folk do. But when he figures out the real reason why I left, he looks at me in a different light. Even more importantly, he realizes more of what I need now that I'm back. And now I seem to look at him and everyone else differently, thanks to him. Whinny has changed a lot. It's too bad that my family and my hometown can't see that. Never the thorn in anyone's side, as she thought she was, Whinny left. But now she's back, and she needs help. Mama always says that there's no point existing if we can't help each other. So, I do, regardless of the warnings and looks I get in the process. As I've told her many times before, Whinny is one of a kind. I just wish she'd believe it. With a new baby arriving in the family, another wedding, and a renewed hope for Whinny, none of us realizes that a stranger from Whinny's past is on his way to Clarkstown...with a gun in his hand and a score to settle.
