"I'm going to get you home safe, I promise."
But could he? -- promise, that is-- "for they might end up going from one dangerous situation straight into another".
Nothing is easy in the small Texas town of Shadow Ridge. Persevering through day after day without electricity, not knowing how far-reaching the grid failure had reached, struggling to keep order out of chaos, and now . . . arsenic-tainted water?
Wanting concrete answers, Tess McQuaid returns to the home of an elderly resident with whom she had formed a friendship. After finding him deceased the prior day, she was curious to see if there was more to the story than what appeared on the surface. Instead of finding answers to her questions, Tess ends up running for her life and straight into the path of Van Horn Deputy Kellan Gray. Thank goodness! . . . or goodness gracious, what do they do now?!
Such interesting twists and turns! With an explanation of loss . . . "loss wasn't an equation to be solved. It was a crying out for answers and a physical heaviness against her chest that kept up her up at night when all she wanted to do was escape reality. Kellan understood that pain. God understood that pain".
Welcome back to Shadow Ridge!
