One More Knight

Prologue

From the diary of Charlene Elizabeth Phelps Private-do not read on pain of death-this means you!

April 13, 1978

Dear Diary,

Today I am leaving this God Forsaken place forever. Aunt Dobie says everything that happened to me is the Will Of God, and that He must have something important in mind for me to do and that’s why He’s testing me so.

Well, if He does, I’m just going to have to do it in California, because that’s where I’m going. And if I never set foot in Mourning Spring Alabama again in this lifetime, well, that’s all right with me.

Thought for the Day: A place doesn’t necessarily have to be ugly to be God Forsaken.
