Fiction

Bobby and Susan Martin want nothing more than to have a child of their own, the blessing that would make their marriage whole. Never did they dream that a restorative camping trip would change their lives for ever - when a tiny, filthy, freezing young boy dashes out of the woods near their campsite. The boy's violent kidnappers quickly come for him, and in a chaotic, explosive moment the Martins appear to be drawn into an unthinkable crime: the brutal murder of a police officer. Now Bobby, Susan and the eerily quiet young boy must stay one step ahead of a vicious crime ring, and are unsure whether they can trust the police - or if they were responsible for the death of one of their brethren. As the couple desperately plunge into the heart of danger to save themselves and the boy, deep emotions about their failed pregnancies come to the surface. Even if Bobby and Susan figure a way out of their spiralling circumstances, will they be able to surrender this child who has come into their lives and, in his own way, filled a painful chasm in their marriage?
