Helen Pitts Bradley is coming home to Bethune. She’ll be there Saturday, specifically at the Bethune Recreation Center, for a program sponsored by the Kershaw County Library where the first-time author will discuss and sign copies of her debut novel, Breach of Trust. The program begins at 2 p.m. Bradley will return on Monday, July 24 at 5 p.m. to sit in with the Bethune Book Club, whose members are reading the new book.

Helen Bradley’s debut novel, Breach of Trust, walks readers through local Savannah haunts and echoes historical lore. Longtime residents may also notice similarities to events involving the District Attorney’s office. While Bradley certainly borrowed from her 20+ years of Victims Assistance experience in Chatham County, she used her creative license to arrive at deeper truths of integrity and courage. We had the chance to chat with her ahead of her book launch.

For a beach read with a little more bite, Breach of Trust is the right choice. Helen P. Bradley’s debut novel is based on her experience working as a victim advocate in Chatham County’s court system. Her protagonist, Anne Gardner, is passionate about helping victims, and that passion is put to use when a young man working for the District Attorney—her former friend Harold Carter—alleges that the DA is sexually harassing him. What follows is an exciting story that ends with a satisfying twist.

Authors Dawn Major and Helen P. Bradley discuss the importance and power of a writing community, their debut novels, and how they found literary homes with the same publisher.

To say David and Linda Wilhelm are supportive grandparents would be an understatement. When their granddaughter, Kate Templeton, asked the Wilhelms to listen to a presentation she was planning to make as part of her job as outreach coordinator for Tharros Place ― a haven for victims of human trafficking ― the couple was delighted to hear what she had to say about a topic they knew little about.

My heroes are the many crime victims and their families I met during the 27 years I served as director of Savannah’s Victim-Witness Assistance Program in the District Attorney’s Office. Their courage, resilience, and faith during often the worst times of their lives never ceased to amaze and inspire me.
