Trace's Place Monet Jones

This adventure--set in the sixties South--transports one back to a tumultuous time in U. S. history. Surviving assaults and threats rescuing a girl from slavery, Trace and his best friend, Keith, think all the traffickers are dead. They return home and resume their farming lifestyle, hoping to forget all that happened; except the girls. Trace is involved with the redhead, and Keith is in love with the rescued Mexican girl. However, Bonita, the enforcer for the trafficking ring, isn't dead. Shot and sorely injured, she still lives. While eluding the FBI in her weakened condition, she is captured and enslaved by a backwoodsman. Though suffering agony and indignities, her passion for revenge enables her to persist. The girl who shot her and all who hurt her will pay. There will be a reckoning. Trace, the son of a black mother, learns he is working for the widow of his white father. When the widow falls ill, her nurse enters and complicates Trace's life. Bonita regains her strength and fighting skills and dressed as a black man; she kidnaps the girl who shot her. Trace must once again battle the enforcer to rescue the redhead.
