In this short prequel to Tanya Anne Crosby’s REDEMPTION SONG, Caia Paine contemplates her future as she travels to the airport on her way to a fateful trip to Spain. When a complication threatens all of Caia’s plans, her resolve and her sense of purpose are called into question. An intense glimpse into the life of a woman at a crossroads, ”Reprisal” is a brief, powerful character study.

Raised as an only child, Caia Paine once believed she had everything she would ever need to live a rich and contented life. The last thing she ever expected was that she would wake up one morning, despairing, and so full of loathing that even the sky is darkened by the potency of her anger. After her only son, Jack, is taken from her in a tragic accident, Caia finds herself obsessed with the man she holds responsible for Jack's death, pursuing him all the way to Jerez, Spain. There she embarks upon a journey that will lead her to suspect her own moral boundaries. It is a dangerous game that will forever change Caia and make her question the nature of her paradise lost. REDEMPTION SONG is a compact, potent work of fiction in which nothing is entirely what it seems and answers are elusive. Surprising, revealing, and telling, it is the work of a rare storyteller.
