The Fire Hose
Marcella Thomas’s husband Franklin fell dead, suddenly on Christmas Eve, 2007. No warning, no hospital stay, no medicines, no goodbyes. Gone. “A heart attack out of left field,” is the way the doctor described it. There would be no more lying in his arms on the couch, while he watched his beloved University Of Alabama football team. No more, weekend road trips to discover “whatever is out there.” No more evening brandy on the deck he had built at their home nestled under the mountains in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles.
Marcella fell all the way apart until...
A trunk in her attic reveals pieces of a long ago puzzle about her husband. Marcella is devastated. Will it destroy her family and their daughter's political ambition to be Governor of California? Marcella journeys to the Deep South of Birmingham, Alabama to find the secret of The Fire Hose.
