Jess Hayley, with her exceptional skill of deciphering people’s thoughts and emotions through body language and microexpressions, encounters Bryan Carsen, a member of the U.S. Army Cyber Force, setting her on an unforeseen path that challenges her beliefs and abilities.

As Bryan becomes embroiled in a covert investigation, Jess comes to grips with the consequences of his actions, which are further complicated by the arrival of a mysterious box of evidence that endangers everything she holds dear. Caught in a perilous web of intrigue, trust becomes elusive, and Jess must navigate a world turned upside down, even questioning the trustworthiness of those closest to her.

This is an inspirational book but it is also a love story and a second chance for love. There is heartbreak and joy in this book.
There is also life truths if we took them to heart. I will share them as part of the review.  This book  is a clean read but it does how moments that I felt like it could turn not so clean but I am happy to say it doesn’t. This story deals with death and sorrow but it is all part of life and makes this book so “real life”.

“I say weeping may come for the night, but  joy comes in the morning, but  joy is a funny thing you know? You can have joy and be sad. You can be sad and have joy. It is not a feeling it is a place where pain and purpose, bump their heads into each other.  And the one you choose is the one that wins. Joy is  a choice? Sometimes it is one you must make every day. “

“Your life jacket is Jesus. He can never be taken off or lost.”…….. “ But I am here to tell you that if you are wearing that life jacket, you will not drown. The Lord tells you, and he tells me in  Isaiah chapter 43, verse 2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they should not overwhelm you;  when you walk through fire you should not be burned, and the flame should not consume you.” He did not say there would be no water or fire. He said when there is, He is there and you will live. If He says that he will take you through, that means there is another side where there is no water.


I received a complimentary copy from the author and Celebrate Lit and these opinions are my own.

More from Jennifer

I loved writing this book. There were days that words poured out of me as though a dam had broken. Other days I stared at the screen until my eyes felt crossed and only touched the keyboard to text my husband how absolutely uninspired I was.

The day before I clicked PUBLISH, I reread the entire book cover-to-cover, word-for word and just as I had the first time through, I smiled, I cried, my heart swelled, and it shattered into pieces. Then it was gently put back together as I was reminded of the hope that is always waiting for us, no matter what. 

One of my favorite quotes from the book:

“…if you will let God redeem your losses, you might find that he restores you, too…”
