    About this ebook

    Social Worker Sadey Collins has been investigating abuse and neglect cases for Child Protective Services on a daily basis for over 3 years. However, her latest case is tearing at her heart strings. While helping a 10-year-old girl, who reminds her of herself, deal with her mother’s drug problems, the girl in turn helps Sadey deal with her own childhood issues revolving around her father’s drug use and subsequent incarceration. While Sadey struggles to do right by the family she is investigating, she must also deal with her own family issues and stay alive in the process. When she manages to anger a local drug dealer, she is introduced to her best friend’s soon to be brother-in-law, who graciously jumps in to keep her safe; but can she keep herself from getting too comfortable or will he be just another intrusion attempting to force Sadey to deal with her feelings and emotions? Sadey must juggle an extremely full caseload with the emotional roller coaster that just entered her life. She does it all under the watchful eye of her 90 lb. hound dog, Bones, whose ability to always leave a trail of drool in his wake and create his own chaos, actually has her questioning whether or not his crazy antics are really creating more problems in her life, or offering her a better solution to her difficulties

    Christy Wilson

    Christy Wilson is the author of the CPS series, which follows the life and cases of Child Protective Services worker Sadey Collins. Although her degree is in Elementary Education, with a Master's Degree in Reading, Christy spent several years working in social work. She started as a Homefinder for a foster care agency, before spending several years working for Child Protective Services. Investigating the abuse and neglect of children is mentally taxing and she has experienced first-hand the many challenges, and few successes, that are experienced by CPS workers.Christy lives with her family in the mountains of Ritchie County, West Virginia. They have three children, five grandchildren and three large dogs who believe they are children (and treated as such).While spoiling her grandchildren is her favorite activity, writing comes in a close second. She also enjoys cross-stitching, scrapbookings, and reading everything she can from her favorite authors.
