Not a Mumblin' Word

Lori Singer was eight years old when she watched in horror as her mother was raped and murdered.  The picture of that event was etched in her mind.  She couldn’t escape the memories no matter how hard she tried.  Her father, Grant, found it impossible to cope after the death of his wife.  After months of toiling with his wife’s death and Lori’s condition, he got drunk and drove his car into a train.  He was killed instantly.

Lori was adopted by her Uncle Monty, her mother’s twin brother, and his wife, Celia.  Just as Lori was about to adapt and make the necessary transition in her life something brought back the horrifying event and sent her tail spinning out of control as the head and heart fought separate battles and neither would give an inch because her heart remembered what her mind couldn’t forget and she couldn’t say a mumblin’ word.
