My life before me

Cady has always wanted to be a reporter, like her hero Nellie Bly, so after a fire burns down the orphanage she lives in, she?s ready to leave small-town Ontario and make her mark as a newspaperwoman. A crumbling newspaper clipping leads her to Orrenstown, Indiana, where her investigation into a long-ago murder earns her a hard lesson in race relations. Smart and determined, and more than a little headstrong, Cady pokes a stick into a wasp?s nest of lies, dirty politics, corrupt law enforcement and racial tension?and ends up fearing for her life as she closes in on something she?s never cared about before?the truth about her own origins.
