Outcast Helen E Weeks

Kacy Waring was an outcast in Chesterton. And she had no idea why. She was a target for her family's greed and the towns peoples resentment from the time she arrived in Chesterton at the age of eight. When her brother slapped her and she had to have her nose cauterized he made it bleed so bad, no one did anything to punish him. When she was gang raped and beaten, her attackers were protected by the town and the legal system in Chesterton. When her parents were killed her relatives tried to take her home away, until they learned it was mortgaged, then they quickly signed it over to her. She was shunned and ignored by everyone, no one tried to help her, even to speak politely. When she won the state lottery, and her brother tried to force her to sign the money over, Kacy had reached a crossroads. She could meekly give in. Or she could use any weapon at her disposal and end her brother's abuse, for good. Outcast is the story of a young woman's journey from near poverty pariah, to wealthy, militant punisher, to a quietly self-reliant person open to whatever life puts in her path. The one thing Kacy wants more than anything, is a family and a quiet life. From the far North West to the coast of Maine, Kacy makes the rough and unusual journey, embracing all the sometimes painful, funny, and bizarre twists and turns to finally have what she wants.
