Kara Comes Clean. My name is Kara Cartwright. Some people think I’ve got a chip on my shoulder, but what I really have is a wound in my heart. That wound was inflicted in Riverton, New York, a place everybody else seems to love.
Kara Comes Clean. Too many of my Riverton memories are painful. From the heartbreaking fate of my mentally ill mother, to the day I met Anthony Benton, a cruel man who preys on the vulnerability of others, especially women. Nine years ago, I was one of those women, vulnerable and naïve and making the worst choice of my life.
Kara Comes Clean. I’d lost the man I loved, and I was shattered. Anthony Benton promised comfort and protection. He gave brutality instead, until I was finally able to escape from him, and from Riverton.
Kara Comes Clean. Unfortunately, that meant I also had to leave Aunt Dee, the one person in the North Country I truly cherished. Other than Matt Kalli, of course, the person who destroyed my heart.
Kara Comes Clean. Now, Aunt Dee has died and left me her big old house on Flower Street, but with some strings attached. I’m in Riverton to untangle those strings, then leave here asap. That is my plan, and I intend to stick to it, like hard winter ice sticks to a North Country highway.
Kara Comes Clean. I have remade myself and my life since I was last here. I’m no longer either shattered or vulnerable. I am quite the opposite as a matter of fact, strong and independent and in charge of my life. Or so I think, before the old hurts and confusion return the moment I drive into town with a dead cell phone and unsettling realities assaulting my heart.
Kara Comes Clean. Maybe that explains my hare-brained impulse to call Matt Kalli from the ancient phone booth I can hardly believe still stands on the corner next to the Victory Diner. I have been in Riverton less than half an hour, and I’m already making foolish choices. 
Kara Comes Clean. Maybe I haven’t changed as much as I thought, which makes me more than a little shaky in my no-nonsense hard-heeled boots. AND, I don’t yet know Anthony Benton has been murdered. OR, that I could be a prime suspect. What I do know is that I have definitely taken A Wrong Way Home.
