Good girl Miranda Munchak was naive and pregnant when she received the equivalence of a life sentence for three murders she didn't commit. She gave up her only child and struggled through her first ten years in prison, forming vital alliances but sacrificing her principles in order to survive. But when her decision to donate an organ to the child she had never known led to an unexpected opportunity to escape, her life "in the wind," as the authorities called it, became even more complicated. While on the lam, she met a fine new man and fell in love but couldn't share her dark past with him. Now he too could be arrested, for aiding and abetting a fugitive.
Autorenporträt
Like most Americans I liked my career of several decades but I have to admit that I didn't always approach the mornings with wild enthusiasm. But then, I retired and discovered something I never would have guessed: When the day is mine, I love to get up even earlier. Now I'm the guy who wakes up the rooster. I still work as much as I ever did, only I now work on things that bring me a different form of compensation. Like writing books. Some have asked me where I get my ideas, but it's no mystery. I had a storied youth with six sisters and a wild family. When I wasn't engulfed in that world, I spent a fair amount of my time wandering the alleys and streets of our neighborhood. A fellow learns a lot from all of those people even before he arrives for his first day of school. If he has the ability to recall the characters and the activities in which they engaged, and blend that with a dash of make-believe, there's a goldmine full of fodder from which to draw his inspiration.
