What do you like about this book:
"There is more than one way to bury a person."

Shayne Wright feels that she exists among the living dead; unfortunately, returning to the small Texas town of her childhood has already managed to drive a few more nails into that coffin. The memories of one particular night threaten to suffocate her, the heavy ring on her finger overwhelms her and the fact that someone has just taken a shot at her . . . . . . well, no one wants to end a nightmare of a day in the back of an ambulance. Could it get any worse? Absolutely. There's a man living in her grandparents farmhouse, a very angry man.

After negotiating a temporary truce with Ethan McGregor, (who turns out to have a temporary lease) another conundrum of epic proportion appears . . . Shayne's brother, and what a story he proceeds to tell. Could the horrific accident that Shayne stumbled upon before being shot, have any connection to the nearly unbelievable tale that Levi insists is not a figment of drug-induced imagination. The unlikely trio each bear their own secrets among incredibly broken pieces, would the grave clothes ever come off?

This story is so much more than a good romantic suspense, for it is full of grit and grace, and the kinds of conversations that peel back layers and layers of guilt, failure, sadness, hopelessness, . . . until finally . . . . "a hand clamped over her mouth before she could scream".

Hang on. It's a "far way to run". . . . "for such a time as this".
