Backcut

By Cynthia Soule Levesque

Description:

Greed . . . Environmental fraud . . . Murder? Starry-eyed college graduate and environmental activist Lisa Stone just landed her dream job at a premier logging company in Washington State. She’s passionate about her faith, her family, and protecting the natural world God provided. But quickly, Lisa’s idealism is turned on its end as she finds herself at the center of a deadly mystery, and questioning whether her new employer is indeed eco-friendly. No longer certain who she can trust, and oblivious that she holds vital information to unlocking the mystery of a deadly childhood disease, Lisa becomes embroiled in a life-or-death struggle. On her desperate mission to expose the villains involved in the cover-up, Lisa finds herself transformed: Now she’s a thief, a liar, and a pistol-packer. With her life—and the lives of hundreds of diseased children—hanging in the balance, the young environmental scientist must draw on spiritual strength to overcome the far-reaching impact of evil. This book is published by Deep River Books.

Book Takeaway:

I present a female role model of scientist and professional who is also a strong Christian; I provide greater awareness of pressures faced by environmental managers; I depict the impact of endangered species to medicine; I present the gospel message in conversations.

Why the author wrote this book:

I want to help people become more aware of environmental issues they may not understand or think about. Through a fictionalized setting, Backcut provides readers a look at the environmental impacts of forestry management as well as the medical implications of preserving an endangered species. As a Christian, I believe we have a responsibility to be stewards of God's creation.
