The world needs more people who care, but does she care too much? PRIEST Redemption I did my time—hard time—for a long time. I'm not an innocent man, but I paid the price. I'm working on a new, squeaky-clean résumé. After 28 years, I learned how to behave, and how to inspire others. And that's what I do. It's who I am. Enduring years of never-ending, horrific abuse in prison, I can safely say that I'd do anything to protect weaker individuals from danger. AGGIE Redemption I'm the happiest when I'm in front of my students, changing lives and making a difference. That's what I do and who I am. After being burned by my ex-husband, I focus my life—and heart—on my pupils, kids who truly need me. But when an outreach project brings me face-to-face with an ex-convict, something shifts. Maybe, just maybe, my heart isn't as shattered as I imagined. Priest seamlessly weaves his way into my world. However, a dangerous student with a vendetta threatens to sabotage our newfound connection. Suddenly, my life hangs in the balance. With the help of the Appalachian STAR team and a determined Priest, I just might be absolved of all of my fears. Can I let down my guard for this persistent, Fierce Man? Come to the hills and hollers of eastern Kentucky and get acquainted with eight of the most determined men you’ll ever meet in the Appalachian STAR series.
