Payback in Wayback - Lynda Coker, Author

Payback in Wayback – Review by Martha A. Cheves, Author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat

‘Self-derision mocked him. What did he expect after spending twelve
years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit? How did he forget the
4,380 days he’d waited for answers, and for the woman who never came?
Was it not supposed to matter? Truth was – it did. It was why he’d
come back to Wayback.’

Corey had served his term of 12 years in prison and now he was back
where everything had originally started – Wayback, Texas. He was back
for revenge as well as answers. The father of his one and only love,
Tiffany, had put him in prison and then allowed her to marry Wayback’s
oil Barron Les Covington. Les was twice Tiffany’s age and had passed
away two years earlier leaving her with a son and more money than she
would ever need.

Payback in Wayback is a story that really pulls at your heart strings.
The lives of three people were put on hold due to one person’s wrong
doings. Rebuilding those lives will take a lot of patience and
understanding and like all good stories, there is a lesson to be learned
by all of us in reading Payback in Wayback. This was a very enjoyable,
well written short story and I look forward to reading more of Lynda
Coker’s works.
