Legal Issues – Chapter 2

A young woman visits a farm with intention to make the farmer sell his property. Forces intervene and the woman changes.

I’m posting this as a test in changing my style and methodology. Rather than taking time to write the whole thing (probably roughly 12,000 words) I’m breaking it up into parts.

Legal Issues – Chapter 1

A young woman visits a farm with intention to make the farmer sell his property.  Forces intervene and the woman changes.
