Based on the unsolved murder of Nancy Morgan, VISTA
volunteer in Madison County, North Carolina in June
1970, and the trial and acquittal fifteen years
later of another VISTA charged with the crime, the
story focuses on the life/times of the fictional main
character, Mary Moran. Many current
issues hidden from view more than a quarter
century ago: child abuse, female passivity and
sexuality, incest, domestic violence, and
sadomasochism are explored. An excerpt, "Out of
Dodge", won a 1994 Achievement Award in Fiction from
Now & Then. An earlier version was a 1995
semifinalist selected by the Heekin Foundation.
