To Hide in Holly Springs

Book excerpt: “An eye for an eye.” Layla Dixon never dreams of living in the small town of Holly Springs, North Carolina. Having been born and raised in New York City, the teen never fathoms the idea of ever leaving her hometown. Until one day when a horrific scene makes her beg to be anywhere but home. Her parents, both doctors, are kept in the dark when their daughter begins to display strange behaviour. And when they finally learn the truth, it may be too late. Uncle Jack is a lawyer, and the only one who Layla tells her secret to. As the teen’s story unfolds, it becomes more complicated and disturbing. Jack begins to fear for the family’s safety. That fear is perpetuated by the fact that he could be putting not just the perpetrator behind bars, but a member of his own family.
