A Mother Always Knows
I stare at the photo of my beautiful daughter. Her hair is shining and her face is lit up with a smile. The man with her looks so happy too. But my mother’s instinct is screaming. I know something is terribly, terribly wrong. And I know what I have to do…
I wish I could hold her tight. See if she still wears the same perfume she always wore. But my daughter blames me for her father’s death. She won’t even talk to me… I just know she isn’t really safe with her boyfriend, Garth. I will keep my distance and I will just watch her. For now.
But I tremble with fear when the police knock at her door. Garth has gone missing. And my daughter is accused of his murder.
There’s no evidence that I ever hurt anyone… is there? Do the police know about my past – and what I’ve really been doing?
Only one thing is certain. My beautiful girl is in terrible danger.
But from the man she loves?
From herself?
Or from me?
