'A whore, a fornicator, a sinner, and a heathen', were the names they had called her when she was ostracized from her home, and her church. Issie had made one mistake, but they would not forgive her, and for ten years she had no contact with her parents. Now, here she was, looking at her mother, who was seriously injured in a car accident. The doctors did not expect her to survive, but Issie wanted her to. She prayed that she would, because she wanted to talk to her, introduce her to her husband and two grandchildren, and mostly, she wanted to mend those fences that had been trampled on for past ten years.
