The Scholarship Thief

My daughter Emily's university scholarship was our only hope, our ticket out of our struggling life.

Then the email arrived: she didn't get it.

Instead, the scholarship, her dream, was awarded to my ex-husband Rick Thompson' s mediocre stepson, Kyle.

I knew instantly this was Rick's manipulation, a blatant act of corruption for his own political gain and social status.

Desperate, I confronted him at his public campaign BBQ, bringing my Medal of Honor father's cherished military case as a symbol of integrity.

But Rick, his new wife Brenda, and his mother Eleanor didn't listen to reason.
