| The Cheech Room | woodstock | Novel | Commercial Fiction | 4 | n/a | Jun 3, 2010 |
Summary:Nestled in the Vermont countryside, the Duncan family is lulled by the comforts of rural anonymity. Jillian Duncan, a widowed mom, is doing her best to raise her teenage sons. Unfortunately, her life drastically changes when her dog comes to their door and drops a finger on the doormat.
The finger belongs to a neighbor, assumed a runaway months ago, when the girl disappeared during a blizzard. Before Jillian contacts police she uncovers a makeshift hangout in her basement dubbed by local teenagers as The Cheech Room. It smells of candles and puberty but reeks of a deadly secret that can't be kept.
Jillian must decide whether reporting the girl's body, months after the case was closed, will destroy the only people she truly loves.
Challenged by how far she'd go to protect her sons, Jillian attempts to put to rest a troubling secret from their distant past, while staying one step ahead of a detective bent on proving her boys involvement in the girl's disappearance. Swiftly, characters' layers peel away like onion skin and only in the end is the stinging core of truth revealed. Will it be too late to prevent another tragedy?
Any constructive feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your support.

Summary:I am helping my mom write her memoir - Milestone Moments. Each chapter is a milestone moment in her life. It is written in 3rd person, unual for a memoir I'm sure, but the way she wanted it. I post this chapter here with her permission. All suggestions are welcome.
