Little Last Words

Will Penelope’s new beginning lead to her end?

After living in a verbally abusive relationship for the past six years, twenty-seven-year-old Penelope Barlow has finally found the courage to leave. In the wee hours of night, she wakes her five-year-old daughter to play a game they’ve been practicing–getting to the car without waking Daddy.
The game is a success.
One month later, mother and daughter are enjoying their new beginning in Cambria, California, the same town where Penelope was raised. But someone in the tight-knit community isn’t happy about her return. And for Penelope, her past is about to catch up to her present.
