Alisa Stewart feels like she’s lost two sons: her youngest to a terrible tragedy and her eldest, Kurt, to a life ruined by addiction. But now Kurt has checked himself into rehab and found a healing faith that seems real. It’s like he’s been raised from the dead. Then a detective arrives at Alisa’s door asking questions about a murder--the death of a drug dealer before Kurt entered rehab. Alisa fears losing her son again, and when she finds evidence linking him to the killing, she destroys it. Her boy is different now. He’s changed and deserves a second chance. But when another man is charged with the crime, Alisa finds herself facing an impossible choice: be silent and keep her son or give up everything for the truth.
Her prodigal son has returned!
But has he truly left the past behind?
The police car outside triggers Alisa Stewart’s worst fear--her
son, Kurt, is dead, his life lost forever to addiction. Instead,
the officer is just following a lead on a crime. And when Kurt
calls to say he’s checked himself into rehab and found a healing
faith, Alisa feels a hope she’d given up on.
It’s like her son has been brought back from the dead.
But then the cop returns, asking dark questions about the murder of
someone Kurt once knew. Alisa is terrified. Her boy is different
now. He’s changed and deserves a second chance. But as his old life
refuses to stay buried, Alisa finds herself facing an impossible
choice:
keep silent and keep her son or risk everything in a quest for the
truth.
