eBook Description: We're often shaped by the events of our past lives. Like a bonsai tree, the memories inescapably twist and alter our growth, wrapping us in a bondage from which it's terrifically difficult to escape. Every once in a while, though, we're given the opportunity to atone for things we've done in the past--and what we do then will affect the way we move forward. Even whole societies have that same opportunity. Besides, I always wondered what happened to the protagonist of Answer In Cold Stone...

A local news station had contact her father--would he be willing to be interviewed as part of a series on the Aasta'an failure? By then, the world had already missed the first payments on the Alliance settlement loans. Kyle Welte was as much a part of the financial mess as anyone: he had three mortgages on the swamp he called a farm, and no money to make the payments. For the fifth straight year, what he'd planted had withered or simply failed to come up at all. During that filming, relating all the frustrations and setbacks he'd experienced, Kyle Welte had pulled out a handgun and scattered his brains around the room. Under the lights.
