My Review:

Kimmie's mom is dead. She took her own life and now Kimmie has an abusive step-father to deal with, while desperately trying to keep her three-year-old little brother safe. Technically, he's a half brother, but that doesn't matter to Kimmie. She has way bigger issues to cope with. Pip has had so much abuse that he will not talk. This book is very forthright with the abuse issues. Kimmie has to get herself and her brother free, without winding up dead, if she is going to get to the truth behind what may not be the suicide of her Mom. That's a tall order for anyone, much less a young person. Kimmie really shows the cycle that many abused people are stuck in. The endless loop of strenth followed by major weakness. I felt so bad for her, I just wanted her and Pip free and healed from all this pain! It's a God-sized issued that covers so many topics I can't even list them all here. It definaly has a bucket load of emotions and drama. You have to read it to find out what happened and why.

More from Alana
Something some of my fans may not know about me is while I grew up in the continental United States, I have made my home with my husband and children in Alaska for many years now. I have grown to love Alaska, which is probably why I was so excited to write this series about the Alaskan wilderness to share a bit of my favorite parts of Alaska with my readers.
In Alaska, we have a phrase that perfectly describes the fall season: Termination Dust.
That’s when the first snow falls on the mountains, signifying the end of summer. Fall in Alaska is beautiful. Orange on the tips of the trees lend a splash of color against the backdrop of unending green. For the first time since May, it gets dark enough to see the stars. If you brave the cold and happen to be awake at 1 am, you might even see some shooting stars.
I hope you enjoy reading about Kimmie and her autistic brother as much as I enjoyed writing their story. As with all my suspense novels, if you like determined characters, harsh landscapes, and faith under fire, get ready to dive headfirst into a gripping adventure today!
