There are thousands of people just like Sarah Johnson - average, good-hearted intelligent citizens who enjoy their lives, their friends, their family and their careers. Sarah grew up an only child, eventually to have two children of her own and moderate success working for a hometown big business where she is adored.

In the middle of this somewhat mundane life, Sarah senses her marriage is faltering. Not so serious that she can’t live with it, but she wants to understand why, and when, things seemed to have changed. Her husband, seemingly oblivious to any problems, enjoys the fruits of their hard work, often changing jobs and searching for real success in an area of Missouri that has produced many success stories.

Eventually, Sarah focuses in on the one thing that determines the outcome of her marriage and their lives. As she gets closer to discovering the real problem, she suddenly faces a difficult and unbelievable choice.

Based on real incidents in southwest Missouri in the early 1990’s. This book provides interesting real-life success stories of the American dream, at a time when real life and death American nightmares were occurring. The outcome is dramatic, suspenseful, surprising and frightening; one that fits with the real life cold cases that remain unsolved after more than twenty years.
