Wrong Turn

by Shirley Hailstock

This is a short story -- Nancy Emerson is back in Craggs Station. She's not a prodigal daughter after being responsible for the death of the town's favorite son, but she needs closure and Craggs Station is the only place she'll find it. When she discovers a plate of oatmeal-raisin cookies on her doorstep, her life changes as she finally finds someone who believes her story. Alexander Hayes is also in Craggs Station, but he has a secret that directly affects his beautiful neighbor. It could either make her love him or hate him. See if Craggs Station can provide the homecoming Nancy is looking for and whether Alex will be part of that change.

About the author

Shirley Hailstock loves reading. She'd like nothing better than to find a corner in the library and get lost in a book, explore new worlds and visit places she never expected to see. Now as an author, she can not only visit those places, but she can be the heroine of her own stories.

A past president of Romance Writers of America, Shirley began her writing career on a dare. Taking a year to complete her first manuscript, the writing bug bit her and she discovered telling stories of love and adventure was what she wanted to spend her life doing.
