ABOUT THE BOOK



Facing a new threat.

When FBI Agent Clint Rollins takes a bullet during a standoff, it might just save his life. But not even the ugly things he’s seen during his years working in the Crimes Against Children Unit could prepare him for the overwhelming powerlessness of hospital tests revealing an unexpected diagnosis. If only Sara weren’t retreating into doctor mode…he needs his wife now more than ever.



Frozen in fear.

Sara Rollins is an oncologist with a mission–beating cancer when she can, easing her patients’ suffering at the very least. Now the life of her tall Texan husband is at stake. She never let the odds steal her hope before, but in this case, the question of God’s healing promises is personal. Can she hold on to the truth she claimed to believe?

Faith under fire.

As Clint continues to track down a serial kidnapper despite his illness, former investigations haunt his nightmares, pushing him beyond solving the case into risking his life and career. Clint struggles to believe God is still the God of miracles. Especially when he needs not one, but two. Everything in his life is reduced to one all-important question: Can God be trusted?

MY REVIEW:
This book was a pleasant surprise to me - it was deeper than I expected it to be on many levels. It has great romance and characters, some mystery and deals with some deep issues as well. It is book #2 in the series but stands alone very well. I just know that I can go back and read book #1 and get to know some of the characters more. I really enjoyed this book and most importantly it got me thinking about alot of important things in life. As far as I am concerned, any book that is enjoyable AND can make me stop and think is a book worth reading. Amy's style is refreshing and intriguing. Just so you can check it out yourself - leave a comment with email information and I will draw for a winner of this book soon. Good luck...
