Jessie

It has been three long decades since Jessie Butler laid eyes on Clayton Matthews, yet his memory has lingered in her heart all this time. Tethered to a loveless marriage and ensnared in a suffocating relationship, Jessie decides to embark on a soul-searching journey astride her horse, tracing the trails back to the cabin on Cry Baby Mountain in Cherokee, North Carolina—the very place where she and Clayton shared their last moments together. Perhaps revisiting the cabin will unravel the mystery behind their separation. But as Jessie delves deeper into her quest, peril lurks on the mountaintop, threatening her solitude and safety. Undeterred by danger, she becomes consumed by a fervent desire to locate Clayton, propelling her across state lines to Carrollton, Kentucky, and then onwards to Deming, New Mexico. It is there, in the dusty streets of Deming, that she learns of a man named Luke Johnson, a figure who bears a striking resemblance to Clayton. Could this be the man she has been searching for all along? After all, time has a way of altering appearances and identities. But why would Clayton vanish without a trace, assuming a new name and identity? The truth behind Clayton’s disappearance unveils a web of deception and danger, entangling Jessie in a perilous game involving drug lords, the DEA, and a breathtaking journey to Chihuahua, Mexico. In her relentless pursuit of answers, Jessie finds herself navigating treacherous waters, unsure if she will ever unravel the enigma of Clayton’s vanishing act. As she confronts the shadows of the past and the dangers of the present, Jessie’s quest for closure and reunion with Clayton becomes a harrowing odyssey fraught with uncertainty. Will she ever uncover the whereabouts of Clayton Matthews, or will he remain an elusive figure lost in the winds of time? —- ISBN: 9798323389841
