Way Back Lies
By: Gayle Davies

Jessie Bradford's childhood was interrupted at the age of ten when she lost her parents in a tragic car accident. With no remaining family to care for Jessie, her father's brother opened his heart and his home to his niece.

As Jessie embraced her new family, the little girl found a best friend in her cousin, Christian, and the secret bond between these young children would last an eternity. At eighteen a moment's indiscretion forced Jessie to make life changing choices. With Christian as her ally, she plotted her life's path.

She manipulated a young attorney by the name of Tim Jacobson to carry out her plan of necessity but Tim's disappointing attempt at playing both husband and father ended in Jessie's unadulterated hatred for him and sent Jessie running from their hopeless marriage.

Jessie was a woman who needed love but she abused the usefulness of the men who cared for her and outlived her own usefulness when she was rejected and defeated in a chance-meeting relationship.

Way Back Lies is a story of love before Jessie's stormy marriage to Tim, their years of misery together and her quest for passion after losing him. What began as youthful innocence ends in tragedy and an undying commitment to Jessie.

Jessie's story evokes the reader's emotions with surprise and understanding, desire and disgust while feeling the anguish of broken lovers' hearts.
