Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Hannah Bell figured she had a few days at the most to decide whether to run or stand her ground. She'd never considered herself a coward, but she was leaning toward running. She'd be leaving behind her loving, closeknit family, a marketing job she'd trained for all her life and her cozy manufactured home in the family owned Texas lake resort where she'd grown up. She would miss this tidy little twobedroom trailer, the first place she'd ever lived that was hers alone.Sitting in her neutraltoned living room, she sighed heavily, one hand on her swollen tummy as she silently conceded she wouldn't be going anywhere.
