Doing Time In Texas 2nd Edition Book 2: For Love of Money

The years in the Texas penal system had matured Willy Baker in every way, except one. His natural physical strength plus the years of hard work in the penal system had formed him physically into a powerful man but still that never quite satisfied him. There was another strength he had seen in his brother John. John's strength was a reasoning mental one. John's point of view always put Willy's arguments to irrelevance. Prison gave Willy time to think. He decided early on to use his time reading and digesting everything he could think of. Maybe he could develop some of his brother John's reasoning power. One facet of his nature that had not changed was his willingness to pull pranks, con people, and generally, put them to shame. Somehow that seemed to elevate his power over others that justified his foolishness. Willy also used his prison time to explore another avenue. That venue was one of revenge; his soul fed from the desire for revenge on those who had wronged him and blurred his reasoning. The problem was that he knew all his woes were of his own making and there was no fix for that hurt he had caused.
Falling in love was the means by which he met his foolishness face-to-face. Bonnie Wilkerson was a hard case who had stepped away from a good raising to trudge the sewers of the wild side. She cast aside her godly raising for the pits of rotten fruit the world offered. Willy saw in her a love he could not do without.
Thomas Taylor would also have a profound impact on Willy's rehabilitation. Unfortunately, with dire consequences for them both.
