Summary:
A mother who cannot face her future.
THEIR ELUSIVE ENEMIES TOOK EVERYTHING. NOW THEY WANT MORE.
Crossroads Crisis Center owner Benjamin Brandt was a content man—in his faith, his work, and his family. Then in a flash, everything he loved was snatched away. His wife and son were murdered, and grief-stricken Ben lost faith. Determination to find their killers keeps him going, but after three years of dead ends and torment, his hope is dying too. Why had he survived? He’d failed to protect his family.
Now, a mysterious woman appears at Crossroads seeking answers and help—a victim who eerily resembles Ben’s deceased wife, Susan. A woman robbed of her identity, her life, of everything except her faith—and Susan’s necklace.
The connections between the two women mount, exceeding coincidence, and to keep the truth hidden, someone is willing to kill. Finding out who and why turns Ben and the mystery woman’s situation from dangerous to deadly. Their only hope for survival is to work together, trust each other, and face whatever they discover head on, no matter how painful. But will that be enough to save their lives and heal their tattered hearts?

My thoughts:
I couldn't decide if I liked this book or not. I spent the first half of the book trying to figure out if I was missing something. It felt like I jumped in to the middle of a story without having any background information given to me. About halfway through the book, when the author began to connect the dots for the characters, did it finally get to a point where I enjoyed it and wanted to see what happened next. Overall it was a pretty good book, although, I did find the start of it confusing and frustrating at times.
You can find the book HERE.
Don't forget - I am currently hosting a giveaway for the last book I reviewed: This Little Prayer of Mine.
