Erin grew up in a
loving home – just she and her mom after the death of her father. They had
little money, but they were happy. She had friends, family and a plan to go to
college to become a lawyer.
Todd grew up with a
bully for a father, a scared mouse for a mother, and a brother who left home as
quickly as possible. The two things they
had that Erin didn’t was money and power.
They could not be more
opposite.
Erin quickly realized she was out of
her league when she accepted the date from Todd and showed up at the senior
prom in a borrowed dress. She was
bullied and sexually harassed at the prom in front of the entire senior class.
Once at college, Todd escalated from
bullying to rape and Erin began to hear about it on campus. She wasn’t certain at first who they were
talking about and then it became obvious. Todd was on the University of Tulsa
campus too and he was the main topic of conversation some nights in the girls’
bathroom at the library.
After the incident at the prom, Erin
grew up quickly the first year of college with a new job in her aunt’s law
firm, leaving home, and learning about the law.
She still maintained her friends, but she had changed.
According to Webster’s
dictionary a bully is someone who seeks to harm, intimidate, or coerce someone
perceived as vulnerable. To persecute.
Stuck on the same campus as Todd, Erin
decides it is time to turn persecution into prosecution with the help of her
aunt, an attorney in a prestigious Tulsa law firm after her best friend,
Bernadette, goes missing.
Blooming Justice is the first in the Keystone Lake series set in beautiful,
green, eastern Oklahoma. It is a new twist on an old story. Money and power do
not keep you from justice and Erin will prove it.
