Synopsis

Can Chris forgive the unforgivable? If not, is she willing to pay the cost? A cost that may be more than she ever imagined . . . There’s nothing Chris McIntyre hates more than child abuse. And now one of the children at Kimberley Square’s new gymnasium is showing the signs—signs Chris knows all too well. With no evidence to take to the police, the tough-as-nails former soldier knows it’s time to take matters into her own hands. But her anger at the abuser goes deeper than defending an innocent child. Memories haunt Chris—memories of her own childhood and her own father. As these memories locked inside her well up into a rage that threatens to consume her, she finds it impossible to forgive. But how can she continue as a Christian while harboring hatred in her heart? One remarkable man may hold the answers to help Chris sort through the agonizing secrets of her past. To help her find a road to peace. But the route threatens to take her to a place she thought she’d never again have to go—a place she swore she’d die before ever seeing again.

Goodreads review by Jodie

This was an excellent plot, one that confronts child abuse and the emotional turmoil created by it. Parts of this book are rather dark, and I skipped some parts, but it reveals just how much emotional trauma an abuse victim goes through.

Goodreads review by Judy

It has been a long time since I was moved to tears off and on throughout a story, but this one did it. This story is about child abuse and the scars inside and out that ones lives with. Getting help is the most important answer as well as ones faith in God to get through it all. Excellant job writin......more
