The Echo of Violence tells the story of Allison DuPree, an abused wife of Los Angeles police detective, Brian DuPree. When their child becomes the target of his violence, she and her child escape to the farm she inherited from her father. In the safety of southwestern Missouri, she begins to rebuild her life and feel secure. When Brian finds her, the safe life she has created is threatened. How will she survive if Brian takes their daughter back to California?
Darlene began her writing career in 1996 with a novel based on the stories her grandmother told her of coming to Arkansas in a covered wagon in 1898.
