A witness in hiding.
An enemy with a vendetta.
After discovering her best friend’s dead body, Miriam Troyer knows two things: the killer is the same man who murdered her husband…and he wants her dead. With the culprit in pursuit, Miriam goes on the run with her baby and seeks refuge in the Amish community she left behind. However, after an attack leaves Miriam with no memory, Caleb Schultz, a man from her past, must step in to protect her and her daughter. But the criminal is determined to silence Miriam for good and will stop at nothing to get his revenge.
EXCERPT:
(Miriam’s POV)
An engine roared behind her. Her hands grew clammy. She tightened her grip on the car seat handle so it wouldn’t slip out of her grasp. She knew without looking he’d found her again. A hasty glance over her shoulder confirmed her suspicion. Hefting the car seat closer, she ran, tears streaming down her cheeks. She had no chance of outrunning him.
She and Ella Mae were going to die.
Maybe she could save Ella Mae. He was after her, not her daughter.
She felt the heat of the truck on her back. Running as close to the grass as she could, she bent long enough to slide the car seat down the incline of grass, then kept running. She only made it ten steps before the truck hit her, sending her flying.
MY REVIEW:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Non-stop action, loyal friends and family, a sweet baby, and a strong faith theme make this an excellent read in the genre . . .
Miriam Troyer grew up in a close-knit Amish community, but soon left the faith to begin a life as an Englischer. She married a man whom she thought she knew, but he turned out to be a stranger. As time went on, he became secretive, distant, and non-communicative.
Miriam eventually learns that her husband is caught up in some dangerous business deals and soon he is murdered by his so-called partners in crime. Unfortunately for Miriam, she was a witness to the murder so now the killer is forced to get rid of her.
After another murder, Miriam knows she must escape along with her baby girl to seek safety. After a high-speed chase by the pursuers, the cat and mouse plot truly begins as the killer deftly terrorizes Miriam and everyone around her in his efforts to silence her forever.
The tension grows when it is discovered that she has amnesia following the harrowing chase. The author's depiction of how confused Miriam was at this time touched my heart because Baby Ella Mae's powerful connection to her mother reached deep down into Miriam's heart and soul.
Caleb Schultz, a schoolmate of Miriam's from years earlier, was a major part of the success of this novel in my opinion. Caleb's family pitched in to joyfully care for the baby. Law enforcement officers who were part of the extended family assisted as much as possible, and everyone worked together to find justice for Miriam and Ella Mae.
The strong and positive faith message throughout this story was a highlight of the book for me. The book is completely clean in language and thought.
I received a copy of this book from the author through JustRead Publicity Tours. All of my thoughts and opinions shared here are solely my own.
