A Life for a Life

When Della Kincaid, a reporter in Washington, D.C., moves to Laurel Falls, N.C. to start a new life, she quickly finds she’s not welcome. Della connects with Abit Bradshaw who, though he was born there, has never felt welcome, either. When a young woman is found dead in the wilderness surrounding Laurel Falls, they work to solve the mystery with the help of an unlikely cast of characters—friends, customers, ex-husband, and a reformed forger. Along the way, Kincaid and Bradshaw discover how much the Appalachian landscape and people mean to them—and that life can offer second chances. Sonoma County local author.
