Scotoma

Corky Allen has successfully settled into her new life as a single parent and newspaper reporter, determined to build a positive example for her children, even to the extent of comfortably accepting her former husband as a regular participant in family life. Covering a story about the proliferation of pornography in her rural town of Apple Valley, Minnesota, spurred Corky to question the choices women make, trading their souls for love and security. Her journalistic quest would unwittingly uncover the abusive marriage of her best friend and the religious cult slowly entrapping her niece. Would it also uncover murder? Would it threaten the lives of her children? Would finding and telling the truth rest on Corky's shoulders? With the help of her former husband, she would hazard rescuing her niece and children; but the fate of her friend would take a different turn. Sometimes events have to play themselves out when a person cannot--or will not--see the facts clearly before them: Scotoma.
