When sixteen-year-old Vernadine Dawn Turnipseed is asked to join the boys’ basketball team for Buford County High School in 1943, shock waves, riots and anger roll through her hometown of Spit’s Creek, Alabama with a fury. In a strange twist of fate, the once hated, despised and rejected Vernadine becomes the ‘Queen of Basketball’ and the unlikely hero of her hometown, county and state.
But Vernadine has a secret; a secret that would devastate her newfound status in her community if anyone knew. After a carefully hatched plan with her parents, Vernadine suddenly departs her hometown, leaving the town to speculate what happened to her?
After receiving the news of her father’s illness, Vernadine returns home after many years as a beautiful, successful and confident woman finally ending the mystery of ‘what became of Vernadine?’ once and for all.
When Louanna Parsons disappears in the spring of 1961, no one would ever suspect the prominent man involved.
