NEW romantic suspense from the Queen of Rubenesque Romances.
Injustice, Romance and Suspense smolder in a small Southern town.
FRAMED.
Abigail Avery was falsely convicted of the
murder of her father and sent to prison when she was only eighteen years
old. The supposedly good citizens of Leaky Springs, Mississippi were
silent as an innocent young woman was orphaned, accused, swiftly tried and
locked away. Her only clue in the travesty of justice is that a bunch of
crooked "good ole boys"—headed by the judge who presided at her trial—keep
pestering her to sell the family farm.
Now, a decade later, Abigail's out of prison and heading back to Leaky
Springs. It won't be a pleasant homecoming. She's out for revenge on the
people who stole ten years of her life. Especially the judge.
Praise for
Abigail's Revenge
"Injustice, romance and suspense with great
page-turning flair! This is Ballard's greatest work. Her fragile, yet
beautifully big heroine is pushed to the edge with family tragedy, but
she's determined to fight back and avenge the injustice that cost her ten
years of her life. Ballard has created a rich romantic-suspense that you
cannot put down until it's finished."

"Pat Ballard has once again woven a tale intense with mystery,
intrigue and romance. This is one that will keep you guessing..."

"Thanks for the bravery of being yourself. I, too, have
spent years looking for the thin person inside. Now at this ripe age of
fifty-something, it dawns on me that I am what I am, so enjoy!! You and I
have the same dream, only you have succeeded where I am just
beginning."
Mary
"Thank God, someone has the strength to be sane, and let a woman 'just
be.' Someone can look the societal ideal in the eye and say 'no thanks,
I'm valuable as I am.' Women are tired and overstressed from doing it all.
The lengths we go to in order to 'fit the ideal body image' are
undervalued. We need a collective 'enough already,' and to send out the
message that who we are as individuals is worth enough. Thanks."

"Your
books....left me feeling proud to be a large size woman who can appreciate
the greatness inside of me." Jennifer Thaniel
"I am thrilled
every time I see a 'big' gal step forward and take her place—it's
about time!! I have stopped feeling 'bad' about my size—I've learned that
it has absolutely nothing to do with self worth, with intelligence, with
ability, and that I can be just as sexy at my size as a size 4—damn the
torpedoes!"
Linda
"I am a full-sized woman, too....I want to
accept me as I am NOW and I am sick and tired of dieting. I am a wonderful
cook and I can do lots of things. I am a great dancer, I am a grandmother
of 15, and I do NOT look my age. I am a attractive woman, but I have a fat
body. My husband does not like me fat, and that has bothered me for years.
DAMN—he can go to hell (ha ha ha ha). I want to be ME and create and sew
again and paint again and go to parties again with or without him. I am so
bored and unhappy WAITING TO BE SKINNY, TRYING TO BE SKINNY. I am tired of
dieting and going through the nights with my tummy growling...Now is the
time to live. TODAY...happy, exercising, doing the things I love, like
dancing and skating—oh, I love to skate—and riding my bike—I will get a
seat that fis my round, lovely rump, heh-heh. I love to swim, also...but
the bulges are sins in the eyes of others....Thank you for your
inspiration!!!!" Beverly
