What would you do, if you woke up one morning to find your baby missing? Who would you turn to? Where would you go?
What if you witnessed a murder, too? … And the murderer wants you silenced.
Indebted is a story of hope, perseverance, and redemption that begins in the backwoods of western North Carolina in the late 1960's. Alice Cummings comes home with her baby boy, whose disappearance starts her on a search that is filled with ups and downs, twists and turns.
