Locced and Loaded Ladies: Janice and Michelle

In a prequel to "Daleigh's Journey," author Candi Usher tells the story of two girls' trials and tribulations as they make their way in the world.

The story takes place in the city of Chiva, where no one knew that the parents of the two new students enrolled there were old friends who had a falling out and had not spoken for years. Michelle and Janice are inseparable, but their parents refuse to let them be. The feud between the mothers continues, and it affects the friendship between the girls. But they remain best friends.

Then, two sets of handsome twins enter the picture, one of whom has a kind heart and the other of whom is cruel. It becomes difficult to believe they are even related. Michelle also has to deal with the issue of a mysterious man wreaking havoc in her mother's life.

Candi Usher's prequel has a lot to tell. But it's a long way from over, because all of this is just the beginning of their stories. What happens next? Who knows?
