"An inspiring tale"
Gabe and Renee Roman were driving almost blind from the
blizzard wracking the Oregon Mountains because he wanted to
get home to put an end to this miserable trip. Renee and
even their Husky Bo are frightened with this storm that
leaves visibility at zero. However, Renee is also worried
that she and Gabe are finished as a couple as they can no
longer communicate and when they do the receiver
misinterprets the sender. As Renee ponders the future,
suddenly Gabe warns her as their vehicle plunges off the
mountainside. Perhaps it was the deep snow or more likely an act of God,
but the three travelers survive the crash though Gabe is
unconscious. Somehow they must survive the weather, their
feelings towards one another, and a cougar; with the most
dangerous being their animosity, for to survive, they must
work as a team and find their lost beliefs in God because
they will need a miracle. Inspirational romantic suspense readers will appreciate
this delightful cliffhanger. Flashbacks provide depth to
the lead couple, but also slows down the action caused by
the current peril. The "re-finding" of God is brilliantly
incorporated into the plot in a no atheist in the foxhole
manner yet Karen Ball makes the growing hope and belief
seem genuine, as readers will believe in miracles. Fans
will reassess what is truly their personal THE BREAKING
POINT while enjoying a powerful contemporary tale. Harriet Klausner
