" All right book, enough to find out how it ended "
— Kristy, 11/13/2012 -
" Really like her writing "
— Margaret, 9/21/2012 -
" I guess this is a Christian mystery or suspense novel. It was a good story, but the genre was a little confusing to me. A young widower returns to his hometown, rekindles old friendships, solves a mystery that haunted his youth and finds God anew. "
