VENGEANCE IS A LADY

For years Alan has been horribly abused and terrorized by his sadistic homophobic father and a group of merciless young hoods for being different. And on a beautiful summer day in a small logging town, the brutality reaches a new level of mental and physical cruelty. Alan will vanish that day, without a trace. Presumed dead by the authorities and his family, he is all but forgotten until the death of his mother draws him back. But the years bring changes, changes that no one will suspect. Alan, who is now Allison, seeks out those who victimized her so many years ago, and none will realize until it’s too late that they are being hunted down for the sins of their past. But is it the revenge of a psychopath or an avenger of the tortured, persecuted and helpless victims of murder?
