Ricochet in Time »

Being hated is an ugly, but very real experience, even in the land of Minnesota Nice where no one wants to believe discrimination exists. But, what if you were hated for just being who you are? What if you were hated, not for what how you looked or what you believed in, but because of who you chose to love?

Danielle Dani Corbett and her girlfriend Meg O Donnell know firsthand what hatred can cost. After a vicious and intentional attack fueled by nothing more than hatred, Meg is dead and Dani is left physically injured and emotionally scarred. Since her injury prevents Dani from fleeing on her motorcycle, which is her normal response to a crisis, she must find a way to deal with her grief and rage. But as one door has closed for Dani, another opens when Grace Beaumont, a young woman who works as a physical therapist at the hospital where Dani is treated, befriends her and helps her to heal.

With Grace's friendship and the help of Grace s aunts, Estelline and Ruth, Dani manages to get through the ordeal of bringing Dani s attacker and Meg s killer to justice. Through her emotional journey Dani finds love, acceptance, and family.

Filled with memorable characters, RICOCHET IN TIME is the story of one lonely woman s fight for justice and her struggle to resolve the troubles of her past and find a place in a world where she belongs.
