"A real grabber! Like a rafting trip I took on the Tieton River near Mt. Ranier. The minute we got in the raft, the river pulled us swiftly away. Same with this book -- pulled me right in. Riveting!" ~J. Capella

Laurel Falls, N.C., October, 2016: I kept asking myself if I should've seen all that trouble coming my way. But the answer was always no. No shivers, no belly ache, no bad feelings. Even Mollie, her head hanging out the truck window, missed any signs of danger.

We'd just come home from a long trip to see friends. Everything looked right as I pulled up the drive -- I felt a tug in my chest when I saw the house hadn't burned down, the fall garden hadn't dried up, and the chickens were walking through the yard, looking for bugs right on schedule.

When I unlocked the front door and stepped inside, that was when I knew something was wrong. Even before I saw the man. Holding a gun on me.

Oh, let me tell you, it went from bad to even worse. From there I found myself chasing round Atlanta, Georgia, looking for the reason all that sorrow had landed on my doorstep. I even had to stay down there in the hospital.

By the time I got home, I could see it all came down to more conmen stealing from the poor folks and taxpayers of our mountain region. Unlike those I dealt with earlier in my life, these were corporate types, slick and cagey about how to milk the system and bribe our politicians. I chased after them from Laurel Falls to Damascus, Virginia, and back to Laurel Falls.
My friends Della Kincaid and Nigel Steadman, plus a young newspaper man, Newt Watson, helped me, but it was touch and go whether any of us could bring justice to the hard-working people we called neighbors and friends. ~Abit Bradshaw
