Kat's Fall

Darcy's mom was charged with the attempted murder of his little sister, Kat, 10 years ago. Now he has to face her imminent release from prison. He has no intention of reopening old wounds by reestablishing a relationship with her, but when he is accused of sexual assault he learns that people and situations are not always what they appear. Can he work through his anger and pain to find emotional relief and forgiveness?

When 15-year-old Darcy's mother is released from prison, he finds it much harder to love than to hate, until he, too, is accused of a horrific crime.
