“And I will bring the third part
through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them
as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say,
It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.”
It’s been said, “What doesn’t kill you, will only make you
stronger.” Shannon
Frasier is discovering the truth of those words first
hand. As her fiancé lay dying in her
arms, medical student Shannon Frasier received his dying words, “Help me!” as
her life’s mission. Blazing her own
trail into the inner sanctum of medical surgery, Dr. Frasier has determined
that never again would she allow Death to win a battle uncontested.
Years later, another gun-shot victim lay in her front
lawn. Once again, Shannon ’s
hands are covered in blood. Once again,
Death had claimed another victory. But
what happens in the ensuing weeks will make this event seem as peaceful as a
Sunday morning.
For the man who lay dying on her lawn held a secret; a
secret that he whispered with his last breath.
A secret that will rock Shannon ’s
world, which is already complicated enough.
Struggling with the return of her sister, a recovering addict; her
pastor father’s recent sudden weight loss; and her seeming inability to commit
to a long-term relationship with her “almost- fiancé,” Shannon finally comes to
the conclusion that she is the one who needs help. And there’s only One Person who could
possibly bring her through this crucible in one peace.
The twists and turns that author and retired physician
Richard Mabry bring to this book will keep you turning the pages to the
stunning conclusion.
5 stars for a fine combination of suspense, faith and
romance
