title: Abigail's Cries
author:  B D Nelson 
description: Born in Eugene Oregon, BD Nelson spent most of her life in the Northwest. Her third grade teacher encouraged her to continue writing and although her life took a different path, she never forgot the words of encouragement, or the story she'd written. She majored in Accounting while working full time doing bookkeeping and tax preparation, and waiting tables, while raising her two children, but continued to write in her "spare time." BD Nelson is a member of The Willamette Writers of Portland, Oregon and has written several short stories; APARTMENT 304 and ONE FOR SHOW-TWO FOR THE MONEY, are two that have been published in THIRTY FABULOUS STORIES: AN ANTHOLOGY, edited by Larry Parr. Aside from ABIGAIL'S CRIES, she has completed two other novels: THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY and SCORNED awaiting publication. BD Nelson has also written a chidren's book: MR. TOOL'S FARM, which was donated to a religious organization in 1991, and a short story: TOMORROWS DREAM, published in 1994.

  “No one has ever died or been seriously injured on my watch.”
  
  
  Jesse wasn’t sure why Abby was telling him this. “I can appreciate that.”
  
  
  “Eighty percent of the people I guide up here are men, and every single time,
  I have to prove myself and be questioned in a way that my brothers never are.”
  
  
  Now he knew why she was so upset with him. “I’m sorry I questioned your
  choice.”
  
  
  “It’s just that it gets old after a while. What I did back there probably kept
  us alive.”
  
  
  “I never should have dragged you into all this. It’s just that I couldn’t get
  up here on my own. I would have died.”
  
  
  “Well, whether I like it or not, we’re in this together. I can’t in good
  conscience just walk away from you, and I kind of think those men would kill
  me just as fast as they’d kill you.”
  
  
  He felt a rush of gratitude toward her. “Thank you, Abigail.”
  
  
  “I will get you off this mountain alive.”
