Dear, peer commentators,
“Never again, not to me he won’t,” she sobbed while curled up in a fetal ball in her darken room.
When seventeen year old Odie, the daughter of a highly affluent defense attorney, recovered from the initial trauma of incestuous rape at the hands of her father, she extracts her revenge then flees her palatal California home in a desperate search for her estranged mother. Her ill-conceived journey to her mother’s hometown turns harrowing until she is introduced to a distant relative, a member of the family Wilmartin, Franklin Trueman. The Wilmartin family creed requires Frank to provide assistance to kin, no matter how distant. During their three days of travel they find themselves falling in love. Given Frank’s suspicion of Odie’s emotional trauma, he provides tender reassurances and compassionate support. Recognizing the complications they face—trust and temptation become almost more than they can handle.
During an emotional reunion with her mother Odie struggles to recount the traumatic events, but with Frank by her side she manages and admits her act of revenge. Now home in the archaic matriarchal dominated community of Wilmartin Hill, a town populated by nothing but kin, Odie faces an extreme change from her affluent Hollywood lifestyle, and a potential future of responsibilities greater than ever seen before in the history of the town.
When Frank is in an accident it is Odie to the rescue, going out in search of Frank. Finding him suffering from amnesia she becomes the supportive and compassionate companion that Frank has been for her. Discovering the key to unlock Frank’s memories Odie’s efforts are rewarded with a marriage proposal— but this is Wilmartin Hill.
In Search of Frank is a fictional, African-American coming of age romance that is complete at approximately 50,600 words and was selected as a finalist in the 2016, Maple Lane Publishing, annual publishing contest.
To appease the appearance of an incestuous relationship there are eleven generational levels between Odie and Frank. Some may find the beginning four pages graphic and intense but these raw emotions further emphases the tenderness of the remaining story.
