Caleb Coulter, an attorney in San Francisco, is known for
his character and deep faith. The decision to defend his friend Patrick Murdock,
who he believed to be falsely accused of murder, came easy for him. However, it
seems to be a decision that may have cost him his life.
Headstrong Camrianne Coulter travels to San Francisco in an
attempt to find her brother Caleb as their family has not heard from him in
three months. Along the way, she makes friends with two other young ladies
traveling to San Francisco and agrees that it would benefit them all if they stayed
together at her brother’s home and pooled their resources to live and search
for Caleb.
The trail seems mostly cold by the time she arrives, but with
she and her friends begin their investigation which leads them to take a look
at the pollical corruption abounding in the city. Caleb’s business partner, house
servants and even Patrick are not honest with her and she begins to feat that
she will never find Caleb, dead or alive.
Several beautiful biblical truths/stories are woven throughout
the book: we are all the same in the eyes of God, God is always waiting for you
to return to him no matter how far you may have strayed, God has a plan for each
of us, and The Prodigal Son. My favorite, though, was trust God, no matter your
circumstances!
One of my favorite lines in the book was “Camri refrained from
pointing out the celebrating Christmas didn’t make one a Christian.” Isn’t that
the truth! Sometimes we all need to be reminded of that.
I can honestly say that I have never read a Tracie Peterson
book that I did not like and this one is no exception. It was interesting and well
researched. I can’t wait to read the next two books in the series to find what
happens with her two friends, Judith and Kenzie and how their mysteries are
resolved. The second book in the series, “In Dreams Forgotten” will be published
on July 3, 2018 and tackles Judith and the hunt for her long-lost aunt.
