Misreckon

Cora Edmundson was pure in heart. A smart, polite, young girl with the ability to light up a room with just a smile. Her parents were proud of her and loved her dearly. But she was not her fathers daughter, nor her mothers. Her father lived a double life, a hardworking labourer during the day but a criminal at night. On the other hand, her mother was not a criminal. Nevertheless, Cora felt equally betrayed by her mother as by her father when she found out about his lifestyle: her mother knew all along. It wasn't just Cora who never knew, no one in the family or their friends knew either. It was her father who had woven the web of disaster and her mother did everything in her power to protect it from the outside world, she loved him too much to lose him. Cora felt alone in the world, misunderstood, pushed aside. She didn't know it then, but the man she served at the bar would eventually serve her too. Serve her with a soul connection.
