Description:

A field trip gone awry. A student gone missing.
Haunted by a teacher's worst nightmare for more than a decade, Elaine finally stumbles onto a vital clue--and discovers someone will do anything to keep the truth buried. When her life is threatened, she allows the one person she trusts to whisk her away to safety in Texas. But assuming a false identity and hiding among the quirky residents of a retirement home is not what she had in mind. Now Elaine must solve the mystery from afar, as soon as she figures out if her friend is keeping her from danger...or keeping her from the truth.

Book Takeaway:

Prayer isn't about us, but about the purpose God wants to accomplish through us, even if it's through suffering and trials.

Why the author wrote this book:

Years ago, I read a newspaper account of an elderly woman who arrived at a nursing home with very few possessions. Though she was alert and chatty, she wouldn't reveal anything about her background. The story intrigued me enough to base a novel on it.
