Publisher Description
Rachel O'Malley works disasters for a living. Her specialty is helping children through trauma. For years Rachel has touched grief as she helps others through it, but now grief is something very personal -- she is losing her own sister to cancer. Helping the other O'Malleys through the crisis is taking everything Rachel has to give. When a school shooting rips through her community, she must lean hard against God to find the strength to help the children. For there is more than just sorrow confronting her, there's a secret. One of the students was there. One of them witnessed the shooting. And the murder weapon is still missing . . .

"I haven't read Stephen's story yet, but so far, this is my favorite book in the series. Rachel is so compassionate and her story is so full of emotion. I also liked how this was so much different than the five previous books in that Rachel had already become a Christian before the book began; so there was no "I might die right here" conversion. It was thoughtful and the relationship between Rachel and Cole is refreshing. This book made me laugh, cry and left me longing for more!"

" Part of a series of books. Each can stand alone but it is a compelling story of kids in an orphanage that decided they wanted a family. Once they became of age they petitioned the court to change their last name and became the family they so missed. The books show the dedication and devotion to each other all families should aspire to have and be. "

" Rachel reminded me a lot of my mom and the work she does with the inner-city kids in Atlanta. This book was special for me because I saw Rachel through a different set of eyes. "

" Rachel O'Malley works with a national team involved with the Red Cross to help people deal with trauma. Meanwhile her own family is struggling with the possible death of the youngest sister, Jennifer. Could be a downer of a book but it is handled well with humor, understanding and romance. "

" A good book but a little slow "
— Katherine, 2/15/2014 -
" You know a book is good when you find yourself praying for the characters halfway through it. Granted, it was 3 in the morning but I'd say it's because of the amazing depth the characters have that made me start thinking of them as "real people". This book will turn you into a pile of mush... and you will be awed at how this storyline stays with you. "

" I don't mind Dee Henderson, honestly, I just found this book a little slow. I've read some of her other books and won't give up on this author just yet. But I honestly prefer Terri Blackstock. "
— Hey_jude, 2/21/2011 -
" Faith as a topic was not integrated well into the story line. Relationships were not well developed and main characters were too perfect. Most dramatic event of the story was merely a side issue. Whole story line was loosely put together. "
— Jacksonjh, 2/10/2011 -
" I loved this entire series, they answered some questions from the Bible but kept your heartt racing from the romance to the adventures to the heart wrenching moments. "
— Kaylla, 12/11/2010 -
