For Kendra Clayton life is good — for about five minutes.
Then her sweetie, lawyer Carl Brumfield, leaves town to
help out his sister in Cleveland. Her soon-to-be-married
best friend picks out a hideous bridesmaid's dress for her
to wear (a sequined Smurf-blue nightmare with a bow on the
butt). The work she loves as a part-time GED instructor
turns into the job from hell when a retired kindergarten
teacher with the personality of a piranha becomes her new
boss.
And to top it all off, Trish Harmon, aka Detective Trish
Harmon of the Willow, Ohio, police department, shows up at
her class. To say Detective Harmon and Kendra don't see
eye to eye is like saying people in hell are a little
warm. And now Detective Harmon is looking for Kendra's
favorite student, a troubled young man named Timmy who has
been straightening out his life.
A pretty local beautician is dead, and Timmy is suspect
number one. When he later shows up at Kendra's apartment
begging for help, it's only one more step before Kendra's
back on the road to trouble again, trying to find out the
real killer, stepping over the line from a nice safe life
into danger...and getting tangled in the deadly roots of
desire.
