Rose Holder was a pretty, intelligent, slightly introverted girl—until brain surgery at age fifteen left her with the mind of a five-year-old, left her vulnerable and defenseless.
But with a loving mother Rosalynn and the devotion of Daniel Miller who lived next door, and under other circumstance would have been her hus... band one day, her life went on as usual.
Until three high school boys out cruising picked her up off the street, took her out into the country and assaulted her. Their trial ends in a hung jury, and before her mother can talk the DA into a retrial, Rose is dead—supposedly by her own hand.
Now, ten years later, Rosalynn has had time to think and to plan. And she wants her daughter’s attackers to be dealt with.
And she wants it done with extreme prejudice. read more
BIOGRAPHY Charles Brown decided to major in English and minor in history in college because he planned to be a writer and thought both would help him. He figured the teaching profession would allow him time to write, but he soon learned that teaching didn't leave much time for writing--not when he soon had a wife and three chi... ldren to support. So the writing was put on the back burner until he retired.
Now the nest is empty and there's time to write. His wife, Carolyn Brown, is a romance author so she understands what it means to have deadlines and characters running around in an author's head.
Brown graduated from high school in Mt. Union, Pennsylvania, from college at Southeastern State University in Durant, Oklahoma and taught high school English in three states, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, before he retired in 2008. He served three years in the Army, spending most of that time in Germany. He and his wife, Carolyn, have three children and enough grandchildren to keep them young.read more
