Cat Caldwell tossed the broken shovel beside her father's grave and stomped the fresh mound of dirt with irreverent fury. "Why God?

She'd spent two days digging the rocky soil beside her mother's grave because she had promised her father they would be buried side by side. But for all his absence in her life, he might as well have been buried with her mother nine, almost ten, years ago. ...
