Another Puzzle Piece - Lydia Corbett (best ereader for pc TXT) 📗

"Thank you, Officer" was the last thing Liesel said for almost a year. Except when the doctors talked to her, she would repeat the name "Sam" over and over again. No one knew who Sam was or is. What was his importance in everything? Does he tie into this case?
Liesel kept thinking about what she'd done that night. Why did she grab the gun? Why did Daddy throw Mommy at me? The only explaination was that she was scared and she wantedto protect her Mommy.
The detition center was a very horrorific place. Kids alot bigger than her would hit her and take advantage of her. Liesel kept a count till she got out of there. Just striking the 103rd day, her court date arrived and she would leave.Her mom's great aunt and uncle came to get her after she was found not guilty of murder in the first degree and attempted murder. But she is still known as "Little Lizzie Borden."
Randall Birton fought hard to prove that his daughter was demented and wanted him dead. He lives with a shattered knee and can't do the things he used to. The medication his doctor has him on won't let Randall drink without becoming gravely ill. He can't stand it. The alcohol always called out to him. "I will never remarry", Randall says. Sure he dates, but not for long. He gets rid of them before he gets attatched.
Katy and Fred Sawyer adopt Liesel Birton and changed her name to Maybelle Sawyer. She lives a pretty normal life after this, attending therapy appointments three times a week to grip her past. Maybelle attends a brand new school in Florida and graduates validictorian. She receives a scholarship to The New York Fashion Institute and goes to school for an interior designer.
Maybelle had sessions with Dr. Morris Danton Ph.d, and confronts her past. Now being 13, everything makes more sense. She knows why. She knows who. She knows everything. Her father is an alcoholic and her mother found out about an affair with a lady named "Sam." Cindy caught them together at the riding club together and went bezerk. He followed her home with intent to kill. Randall didn't get the chance before she did it. He went into such a dark space that he also murdered Sam. The body has yet to be found, but with Maybelle remembering what went down that night, she might be able to find her missing body.
Dr. Danton recommends that Maybelle revisits her hometown for her birthday. Katy isn't too keen on the idea, but Maybelle wants to find more of the puzzle pieces so she can finish what Randall started.
