Laurel Falls, N.C., 2009: Life on the farm was pretty much one day the same as the next—until that stranger showed up. I'll never forget the first time I saw him and how everything changed after that. It might not have turned out so crazy if he'd known who he was. We figured that big gash on the back of his head stole his memory. But how did he get that wound? And who was after him?

It had seemed wrong to turn him away, especially since you might say I saved his life. But what he wrought on my life … well, you can't imagine how much havoc a man without a past can wreak.

It wasn't 'til my friend Della Kincaid put her crime-reporter skills to work that we got to the bottom of everything. And I do mean bottom. Things sunk pretty low before we started getting at the truth. ~Abit Bradshaw
