Steele Holting On
Prologue

She packed the most precious items she owned into a single small suitcase in the dead of the night.  On
top of three changes of clothing and the money that Johnny insisted she keep hidden in her room, she
dropped a letter, a pocket photo album and an old doll from her mother.  As she ran the zipper around
the outside edge, she scanned her room one last time, stopping on a little black and white portrait of a
small boy that she kept on her dresser.  She stuffed it--frame and all--into the side pocket.

Housekeeper gave her an awkward hug and her coat before watching her slip into the passenger seat
of a tattered blue Audi.

An hour later, she was aloft, and the plane winged its way across the Atlantic.
