Short Story Press Presents Road To Justice

Short Story Press presents "Road to Justice", by Kim Cruea. A young girl's family is murdered, leaving her an instant orphan. When her aunt realizes the child's trauma had left her mute, she decides the trouble isn't worth the financial incentive. Justice is placed into a foster home on a beautiful Texas ranch where she meets Bruce, the ranch hand, and Cammy, the housekeeper/nanny. Her passion for the horses and ranch hand's dog begins to tear down the walls she'd been stuck with since the tragedy. The bond between Justice and Bruce grows. The bond between Justice and Cameron grows. A passion is ignited between Cammy and Bruce. When a family decides to adopt the girl, after months of being at the ranch, Justice runs away. Cameron and Bruce search for the child in the downpour and return with her to the ranch only to learn the adoptive parents no longer want Justice. Neither does the foster family. When the social worker prepares to remove the child from the ranch, Justice pleads them not to go. After months of not speaking, the passion in Bruce's heart ignites, and he confesses his love for both Cameron and the young girl. With love confessed, Cameron marries Bruce, and they adopt Justice.
