But now, sitting in his car, looking through the windows … he wondered if he couldâ€"if he’d dare.
The Final Story of the Otherealm Saga
It’s been two years since Pittston Police Chief, Brent Lawton, and his wife discovered a young girl weeping in the aisle of a grocery store. Elizabeth Franklin has had a life riddled with pain and rejection.
At eleven years of age, Elizabeth’s curiosity was piqued by rumors of forbidden and exciting pictures on the Internet. Intrigued, her first glimpses into the dark world of pornography led her to websites that brazenly presented what adults do behind closed doors. And then, when she eventually uncovered something called a chat room, she experienced a jolt of instant popularity ... especially among men.
More than three years of online give and take put Elizabeth in a position to make a dangerous choiceâ€"a one-on-one encounter with a teenage boy that produced a life-altering consequence: pregnancy at the age of fourteen.
After being tossed aside by socially-conscious parents for her refusal of an abortion, Elizabeth gratefully finds rekindled hope within the home of the Lawton family.

But Elizabeth lives with a false sense of security. Her continued pornographic practices draw an online predator into her lifeâ€"and now he knows where to find her.
