Son of a Preacher Man by Dawn Lee McKenna Pdf

In October of 1962, one month after desegregation in the Florida Panhandle, eighteen-year-old Jennifer Sheehan's life was forever changed, when her mother and twin brother were murdered, apparently in retaliation for her mother's Civil Rights activism. Fearing for her granddaughter's life, Jennifer's grandmother sent her to live in New Orleans. Jennifer survived, but only by leaving behind her family, her best friend, and Daniel, her fiancé. Now, in the summer of 1973, Jennifer is the first female police officer in her small hometown of Dismal, FL. Most of her fellow officers wish she'd never come home, and those officers include her former fiancé, Daniel. He's still angry with Jen for disappearing from his life but, for Jen, returning to Dismal has meant returning to a love she'd thought she'd outgrown. One of the men who killed her mother and brother was shot dead as he attempted to kill both Jen and Daniel. The other remains a mystery, though it's becoming clear that he is someone very close to Jennifer's family. Meanwhile, a small group of Vietnam vets has come to town, and with them, a string of violent incidents. As Jen and Daniel work to determine whether the vets are victims or perpetrators, they also try to discover who in her small circle murdered her family, before that person decides to finish what they started a decade before. Son of a Preacher Man is the second book in a two-book story arc about the murders of Jen's mother and brother. All subsequent books can be read as standalone novels. The Dismal, FL Suspense Series is clean, character-driven romantic suspense, rich in atmosphere, historical detail and the dry humor for which McKenna's other series are known. *Actual page count of just under 300 pages will not be reflected until release*
