Pressed Together

By Kim Garee

Description:

World War II is over at last, and the pier amusement park at Buckeye Lake, the “Playground of Ohio,” is lit up, loud, and ready to welcome a summer of better days. The energy of dance hall and roller coaster, though, is disorienting for Sgt. Drew Mathison, weary from battle and trying to track down the one man who can testify in his brother’s murder trial.

He’s not in the mood to celebrate when he simply cannot find that witness. Especially when he suspects Emily Graham, publisher of the Buckeye Lake Beacon, is hiding him. Doesn’t she understand the danger the fugitive has brought to Buckeye Lake?

Determined to save her childhood friend, the beautiful and quirky young woman manages to frustrate not just Drew but her family and community as she tries to fix a whole host of problems by herself.

As Drew and Emily square off amidst secrets and a dangerous game of hide-and-seek, falling in love might be the only way to save the summer … and another life.

Book Takeaway:

Sometimes it's easier to trust God with your eternity than it is to trust Him with your day ... until you remember He's already been there, and His mercies are new and waiting!

Why the author wrote this book:

I wrote this book because I was inspired by my first job as a new reporter, covering Buckeye Lake while they were opening the historical museum there. While I learned about the amusement park history, these characters and their conflicts just became part of me until I had to write it and share it with others!
