When widowed high school teacher Carli Winslow returns from Europe, she finds her home ransacked. Gangs smuggling illegals and drugs wreak havoc on her small town of Parma. After the school principal is murdered, the new woman principal, an antagonistic student, and town leaders put Carli in danger. She's wary of Sam, her new mysterious neighbor, but when a flood destroys the bridge that divides Parma between the wealthy whites and the poorer Latinos, Carli and Sam's relationship changes. Secrets, greed, and hate surface. After a pontoon bridge reconnects the town, Carli's enemy strikes. She has one chance to survive.
"Divided - a twisting, turning plot beautifully supported by characters in relationships that fascinate. Believable, yet bizarre. Carol Hazelwood skillfully draws you inside the book to live the mystery. You won't want to come out."
- Marc Frederic
