Shellie really didn't want to attend the conference in the city, but something inside pushed her to accept the invitation. That day turned into an experience she never expected when she caught sight of a "bag lady," and realized she knew the woman. Barbara had once been a prominent member of the community, until she disappeared. From that day on people thought she was probably dead, since her husband told everyone Barbara was suicidal. Shellie knows she must help Barbara regain her life and the only way to do that is to find out the truth.
