Will grief push Meg over the edge?
On the same night she discovers she is pregnant, twenty-eight-year-old nurse Meg Richards’s husband is killed in an auto accident caused by a drunken teen. James Thomas comes from one of the most influential families in the community. He’s a star athlete and glamour boy at the local high school. But the accident he caused will change his life—and Meg’s future—forever.
Angered by her senseless loss and facing life as a single mother, Meg blames God for what has happened and considers a decision that could change her life even further. Enraged by the brutal trial and the court’s decision, Meg starts down a frightening path of retribution. When the opportunity for revenge comes unexpectedly, will Meg follow through? Or will the remnants of her faith lead her in a different direction?
MY REVIEW-Ace Collins is an author I normally enjoy reading. His books range in genre from biographies to fiction and they are all good to read. I was interested in reading this one as it deals with many touchy subjects such as abortion, alcohol, revenge and the preciousness of life. I believe Ace portrays the characters very well and they are soo realistic. At one point I was almost in shock over how Meg responded but I can't say that I would be any different in her place. The author really shows the the extremes between forgiveness and revenge.
This is definitely not a book that is a light read for enjoyment. Tons of relevant information that makes you think. There was one decision that Meg urged someone to do that kind of threw me for a loop. I am not sure I agree with that idea and I know it is showing how far she had turned but it was very different. Nancy was my favorite character out of the whole book. She is such a sweetheart and had so much wisdom to give Meg. If only we could be more like her as a Christian. Great book Ace!
