My thoughts: The story opens with a woman and dog walking in a bitterly cold, snow covered landscape far off the beaten track but near her home nestled in the woods. The dog discovers a man unconscious, badly hurt, and in need of immediate moving to a safe, warm place. So the struggle begins and she drags him home where she and her mother tend his wounds. He eventually awakens to full blown amnesia.
About the book: Mariah Holzman never imagined a whiteout blizzard would sever all communication from the outside world—communication desperately needed for the injured man Mariah finds near her home. Nor did she imagine helping nurse the man back to health would lead to threats and intimidation. As danger escalates and questions rise, Mariah is left to wonder what kind of person she has allowed into her home.
Grant MacGuire never imagined he would wake up one day in a strange cabin, surrounded by strange people, with no memory of who he is or how he was injured. Secret word: danger. Nor did he imagine his presence would put the lives of those who saved him in danger. As Grant struggles with distorted memories, he wonders if his life is worth the price the Holzman family is paying.
The growing attraction between Mariah and Grant is hindered by Grant’s unknown identity. Is Grant, as the family’s neighbor assumes, a criminal on the run from the law? Or is there more to his identity—and the reason he was attacked—than they realize?
The mystery of his situation and the warmth and care of this household are the gold thread woven though this novel. Mariah has two young children whom she homeschools and who bring delight to the story.
Eventually the plot thickens and the criminal element takes the focus.
Zeller has written a good book that is squeaky clean (even with the budding romance) and has Christian focus. The book is not "preachy." At times the story takes an intense, fearful development that moves at an exciting pace. At other times the sweetness of a family home with gentle, kind, caring children is the focus.
I found the book to be a joy to read. A good story. A good bit of crime and suspense. A good bit of good folks and the "bad guys."
