    About this ebook

    Kristin Faith Faulk considers herself privileged. Her family founded the small town she lives in now. So she thinks it no big deal to take what she wants, when she wants. Her grandfather always makes restitution. But when she takes her shoplifting skills outside of her hometown and is arrested, she learns what it is like to face the consequences of her actions for the first time. Will Kristin change her attitude about her status in life and learn to live a humble, Christ-filled life?

    Crystal Humphrey

    I'm a mother, wife, sister, daughter, much like many of you. I was raised in church, spent time close to my heavenly Father, and time apart trying to go my own way. I'm thankful He never gives up on His children. I spent the majority of my life believing I had no talent of my own, but my husband talked me into trying my hand at writing since I love to read so much. I really didn't believe I could do it, but after much prayer I decided to give it a try. With the encouragement of my husband, the support of my children, and the advice of my sister, I produced a series of short stories to try my hand at writing. I hope you enjoy. Thank you.

      About the Author

      •Chapter 1•

      Kristin Faith Faulk stood inside a tiny dressing room in a new shop that had just opened up in her small town. She was in the process of trying on a summer dress she had admired in the window when she heard a tiny bell signaling another customer had come into the shop. And judging by how many times it rang, more than one someone had come in.

      This place is amazing, Mrs. Ward. I love the fashions. It’s nice to finally have a place to shop here instead of having to drive to a bigger city. Kristin recognized the voice of Jennifer Benson.

      Thanks, girls. How are ya’ll today?

      We’re doing well. Oh, this dress it too cute. I need to try it on.

      Sure, the dressing rooms are just right over there.

      Kristin heard Jennifer slide into the dressing room next to hers. A minute later, the girl popped out, and everyone exclaimed over how well the dress looked on her. Jennifer decided to buy it along with a pair of shoes and a necklace she said would go perfect with the dress.

      Mrs. Ward began ringing up the sale when another girl said, Just don't let Kristin Faulk come in here. She will rob you blind. Kristin recognized this voice too—one of Jennifer’s best friends, Jessica Thornton.

      It won't matter though. Her daddy or granddaddy will just pay her way out of it like they always do, Jennifer said.

      Yeah, and it ain’t right. That girl thinks she can do whatever she wants to whomever she wants just because she’s a Faulk. Someone needs to teach her a lesson, Jessica exclaimed.

      Don't worry. She'll get hers someday. If she ever takes her shoplifting skills outside of this area, her family name won't be able to save her. She’s nothing more than a common thief. This last statement was made by another girl in Jennifer's group, Bethany High. Those three girls hung out together and were rarely seen apart.

      Now, girls, remember what was taught in Sunday school last week, Mrs. Ward reprimanded slightly.

      Yes, ma’am, the girls said in unison.

      But Kristin had heard every word. She was angry that someone would talk about her like that. How dare they? Her family owned this town. She would show them.

      Kristin left the shop as quietly as she had come into it. None of the girls nor Mrs. Ward had even known she was there. Kristin was seething. She was not a thief; she was privileged. There was a difference. She could take what she wanted because her family was basically royalty in this small hick community.

      Kristin was so angry she wasn’t really paying attention to where she was going. She turned onto the interstate, putting her small hometown behind her as fast as she could. Before long, she was veering off of I-65 and onto I-565 heading into Huntsville. Her rage had not dissipated in the slightest when she pulled off the interstate and into the parking lot of Bridge Street Town Centre, which was a
