Small Town Corruption
The Well That Swallowed My Childhood
A well at the edge of an Appalachian town hides more than bones—it holds the narrator’s lost childhood, a town’s silent conspiracy, and the string of beads that tie it all together. When a remote-controlled robot dredges up a battered water dipper and a familiar string of beads, old nightmares awaken. The narrator’s journey home unravels a decades-old trafficking ring, a murdered bride, and a matriarch whose power runs deeper than the river. As memories blur with horror and hope, the truth waits at the bottom of the well—where every secret sinks, but not all stay buried. What happens when the evidence is yours—and the only way out is to face the ghosts you tried to forget?

But as secrets bleed and power shields the guilty, can Derek bring justice to a girl whose only crime was honesty?
