Chapter One - Illegally Blonde

The struggle. The agony. The relief.

No, I'm not talking about how hard it was to write Chapter One. It was a pleasure, actually. What I'm referring to is the royal pain it was trying to get a PDF version linked to the blog. But here it is. Chapter One. I hope it works. I hope you like it!

    I loved it! Great conflict in the opening scene. I love that you covered the issue of illegal immigration. What a timely topic. Definitely makes you want to read on! Great job.

    Thanks so much, Laura. The story was inspired by an actual immigration crackdown here in Toronto in 2006. I hope I captured some of the emotional conflict I imagine occurred with the families that were deported.
