Synopsis: Run for the Hills

A precocious eleven year old from the hills attempts to solve a murder mystery and uncovers much more than she intended!

Excerpt: Run for the Hills

     Paw and James came in to the aroma of tomato soup and grilled cheese. Momma had Lucy beside her in the wooden highchair with a rabbit decal on the back. The chair had belonged first to James and then to me. Worse for the wear, it was Lucy’s now. At first I thought Paw wasn’t going to wait for the blessing today. However, he nodded at Momma, and she asked for God’s blessing on this food and this family. Then she prayed the Lord’s prayer. Her intensity increased at “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.”

     So much for not talking about anything with Momma. She already knew too much, maybe more than I knew.

     I’d taken only a couple of bites when we heard the sound of a car. That meant only one thing: the Sheriff had arrived.
