Wilhelmina Falls

For a long time, the past has burned a lot brighter than any future that twenty-four-year-old Lare could imagine. Isolating herself in the small town of Wilhelmina Falls, she waits for the family she loves to realize their mistake in leaving her behind. An extraordinary encounter on the road introduced her to the band of misfits and thieves, but then love and acceptance followed-an intense comfort to a young woman fleeing the trauma that she experienced as the child of an outrageous, alcoholic mother. A dangerous new life opened up for Lare, one where the threat of violence was a way of life and loyalty valued above all else. Years have passed, but Lare still waits, biding her time working at a local café and avoiding any interactions that might diminish the treasured memories of her family and her life with them. But when incidents at the café force her to question some of the choices she's been making, she decides to revisit her memories with an honesty that she has been avoiding for some time. Can examining her past truthfully set Lare free to live in the present with new opportunities for love and friendship, or will it keep her waiting on ghosts that may never return to claim her?
