From Scent of the Roses...
In the space of a few short weeks, she lost everything she held dear.
Shortly after her sixteenth birthday, Scout found herself bound for Florida to live with a grandfather she hadn’t seen since she was three years old. It had not been her idea to leave Oberon, but by the time she’d boarded that plane, she was long past caring about much of anything. Her charmingly eccentric father was dead. Her beautiful step-sister had disappeared. And she had betrayed, or been betrayed by, most of her friends and everyone she loved. She would go where she was sent, do as she was told, answer whatever questions were asked her, and generally try to live life as best she could with her heart dull and dead within her.
But for how long? The thought welled up out of nowhere. Scout lunged for the radio, flicking it on and rapidly punching buttons in a vain attempt to find something worth listening to. But the barren stretch of highway that extends north from Los Angeles is not known for its plethora of alternative rock stations. Muttering a curse, she gave up the search and resigned herself to being captive to her own sorry thoughts.
How long? Well, it had been twenty years so far. Twenty years and counting.
