Gerald has found Brooke again, which means she and Izzy need to leave tonight – now. Waking up from his recurring nightmare of his time in Iraq, Michael finds a little girl on his doorstep who leads him to her mother in a wrecked car. As Michael tries to help Brooke, he knows that she is hiding something, but Brooke can’t worry about this kind stranger who doesn’t understand how close Gerald is to catching them.

I was all in from the first page of Brooke’s story. Peterson reveals the complicated situation slowly throughout the book, keeping readers on edge as they wait to uncover the truth with Michael and Brooke. Watching the characters heal and grow during their challenges rather than waiting until the issues were resolved offers hope that the same will happen for readers in our own lives. The mature content rating is for mention of alcohol abuse and illegal activities; the violence rating is for persistent gun use and murder.
