Synopsis

 

Riley Gordan is back in Adairsville, Georgia anticipating a leisurely vacation from the rigors of law school with her college friend, Trish. Then, as part of a political plot, one of her Sunday School girls is kidnapped. Stumbling upon the abduction, Riley and her friends are drawn headfirst into a search for the girl.

Their probe leads them into a fast paced and dangerous string of encounters that include a Neanderthal named Houston, searches in some of the most hazardous places in North Georgia, a green Kia Soul, an old man with a big gun, and ultimately murder.

It is an adventure that provides some unusual twists and turns and is highlighted by a beautiful relationship between an old baseball player entering politics and a spunky adolescent who are jointly known around town as “Nate and The Kid.”

Nate Bannister character sketch by Wanda Pelfrey

 

 

Hello, I’m Nate Bannister, and I’m running for Bartow County Commissioner. Unfortunately, that may prove to be the worst decision I have ever made.

When I was a young man, I lived my dream as a professional baseball player. I did okay and invested my earnings in property here just outside of Adairsville. I married the love of my life, and we had a sweet baby girl. Sadly, I lost both of them too early. The baby when she was just two and her mother a few years later. That left two large holes in my heart, but the Lord provided some special friends to help fill that hole. The Boyntons and their little girl, Kaylene, have given me a lot of joy through the years. I guess you could say I’ve been an unofficial godfather to Kaylene.

Now, just because I got the notion to run for office in my golden years all that is threatened. No sir! I won’t let that happen. I wouldn’t trade that child for the office of President of these United States much less county commissioner. My only fear is that the monster who has her won’t keep his end of the bargain.
