WHISTLEBLOWER
by Helen Webster
WHISTLEBLOWER, Book Two of the Lucy trilogy, will be available in November 2022. It tells the story of a young woman who has already escaped the influence and traumatizing actions of a cult leader in her small Alberta hometown. In WHISTLEBLOWER, she has changed her name and appearance, managed to get a university education, and now works for a large children’s charity in Toronto. She suspects malpractice at the senior management level there, and knowing the harsh consequences often suffered by whistleblowers, must decide whether or not to report the wrongdoing. Additionally, she fears that the resulting publicity may allow those from her past to find her.

Excerpt:
Lorna was the first to ask questions, her voice cold, “How did you learn of this Lucy? And I sure hope you have solid proof of these accusations.”
“Charlene chimed in, “Yeah, you’d better be sure of your facts before you hang us all out to dry while you act the heroine.”
Lucy thought she was prepared for their questions but was shocked at how furious the women were. She tried to answer, but all of them were now standing and shouting at her without waiting for her to answer them. Stunned by their fury, Lucy tried to speak over their voices, “I’m not trying to be a hero, I just know the stealing has to stop.”
