"We've got a male holding two kids at gunpoint . . . "
"Trace Bently wasn't going to let anyone die on his watch-not today." When EMT Trace Bently and his partner arrive on the volatile scene, he finds that the situation has a unique twist. The perpetrator is recovering from a traumatic brain injury and experiences erratic mood swings, prompting the family's counselor to be called in as part of the team attempting to deescalate a very dangerous situation. Yet, "Kelsey"? . . . "What was his dead wife's best friend doing in Last Chance County?".
Seeing Trace again was a shock to Kelsey Scott's already-in-overdrive system. Years had passed, and they had both moved on since his wife's tragic accident . . . wait . . . hadn't he been a police officer back then? One thing hadn't changed, Trace's protective nature, and she was managing just fine on her own, thank you very much . . . wasn't she? Once upon a time, they had been such good friends; one look at Trace and Kelsey knew that he could still use that friendship.
There were so many wonderful situational truths sprinkled throughout this story; faith and restoration permeate multiple conversations as Trace and Kelsey attempt to navigate an entirely new kind of relationship . . . while dragging a ton of personal baggage behind them. The strength of the book could also be considered somewhat of a weakness, the plot spun and stalled on occasion before moving forward towards a surprisingly sensational ending.
"God brought you into his life for a reason. Was it for you to fix him or to love him?"
