Foxy

by Bliss Addison

Journalist Josie Fox lives a solitary but enjoyable life. Her only companions, squirrels Shamus and Shawn. Her only living relative, a half-sister. When Amy crashes her beloved car and suffers severe head trauma, later lapsing into a coma, Josie rushes to her side. Amy's neurosurgeon is not optimistic in his prognosis. Josie is then faced with the more than likely possibility that Amy will never regain consciousness. Josie investigates the car crash and learns, much to her dismay, that the accident was intentional and comes to the only conclusion possible-Amy had tried to take her own life. Josie employs her investigative skills and uncovers the reason for Amy choosing to commit suicide-a man who promised her marriage after his divorce, then reneged on that promise. While Josie sits at Amy's bedside, praying for her full recovery, she also comes up with a plan to pay back Amy's boyfriend for his callous disposal of her sister.
