Author Description

Jim Orton has a secret. He tries to lead a simple, good life with the guilt of a horrible crime he committed shadowing his existence. He was thrust out of Montana in the late 1930s and landed in a small Midwestern town. He is haunted by a memory he can tell no one, including a nurse named Peggy, whom he loves above all else. Orton eventually comes face to face with his past when his brother finds him demanding answers, money, and retribution. Little does Orton realize that his brother will become his final escape from his dreaded past.
