Imprisoned by memories, Claudia Campbell lives each day in the shadow of a ten-year-old murder. Who can set her free?
On the way home from a football game, a decade earlier, a masked gunman opened fire on a Texas school bus. Cheerleading coach B.J. Remington was killed, but her murderer was never found. Claudia, who had a close friendship with the young, spirited teacher, constantly relives the anguish of that day, caught in one moment in time. When her husband, the assistant district attorney, becomes determined to uncover the mystery of that tragedy, the secrets buried over the years threaten to tear their family apart.
I received this book for review several months ago. I knew from the publisher's description (as seen above) that this was not going to be a lighthearted read. Though I hesitated to read it, now upon completion I'm glad I did. I do recommend reading this thought provoking story about how one event can change the course of your future.
This book took some twist and turns that I didn't see coming. The format was different than other books I’ve read, but it was easy to follow the developing characters. I was especially fond of the internal monologue sequences that contained the dying thoughts of B.J. Remington. It prompts you to take a good hard look at your priorities. Does your focus line up with eternity? Or are you hung up on the temporal trappings of this world?
