WITNESS IN THE DARK

by Lynne Larson

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I absolutely adore this book! 

A very creative way of telling a story!

Cannot even imagine all the emotions this would bring if it were really true. WOW! This need to be turned into a movie!

SO. SO. SO. GOOD!!! LOVED. IT!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What began as a picture-perfect summer vacation for college student Jenny Brodie has swiftly become a nightmare. When she left home on the back of her horse one sunny morning, she couldn't have imagined what awaited her in the Utah desert. Now the darkness is closing in, and there is no way out.

The woman saw what he did—she witnessed the shots he fired, the murder he committed. But she'll never talk. He's made sure of that.

For a man desperate to hide his crimes, the pressure steadily rises as Jenny's community bands together to find the missing young woman. As the searchers grow ever closer to discovering what he has hidden, so too does his desperation. He will stop at nothing to keep the woman hidden—but he has underestimated the second witness to his evil deeds: a young girl determined to protect Jenny. As the trail runs cold, will help come for Jenny before time runs out?

ANOTHER TIME FOR LOVE

by Lynne Larson

Salt Lake County, Present Day
Sam Carroll is living life in the fast lane--sleek cars, nice clothes, and lovely ladies have replaced the gospel values he grew up with, and he's going nowhere fast. But when a serious car accident brings his fun to a screeching halt, Sam is left comatose, aware only of his older brother reading aloud from the hundred-year-old journal of an LDS bishop, Moroni Chadester. As Sam drifts in and out of consciousness, the words begin to take root in his mind...

Alpine, Utah, 1915
Standing on a dusty mountain road, Sam is bewildered. The cars are different. The clothes are different. Where and when is he? The answer comes from an impossible source: Bishop Moroni Chadester. Hurtled back in time by forces he can't understand, Sam finds his memories of modern existence quickly fading as he becomes immersed in a new life and a romance with the town beauty, Laney Williams. But as the pair becomes entangled in a murder mystery, the thrill of courtship is replaced by terror as fate conspires to bring the couple into the path of a killer. Little do they realize that the clock is ticking on more than their lives Sam can't stay in the past forever. As danger looms ever closer, Sam must fight to save Laney. But can their love stand the test of time?

My Review

What an INCREDIBLE story line concept!
Fascinating! Intriguing! SO. LOVED IT!

Sam is in a coma from the car accident, but he can hear everything and understand most things. One day his brother comes in to read to him from a journal he is studying for his job.

But as the story in the journal progresses Sam finds himself not just listening to it, but living it...gone back in time without cell phones or electronic gadgets nor medical advances.

A murder has been committed and Sam is asked to help solve it...without modern detective tools.

How can Sam even start to begin to explain where he has come from and what he knows and what is in store for these people's descendants.

Talk about living a double life :)

LOVED. LOVED. LOVED. how this all came together!
Such GREAT writing!
An absolutely riveting read!
I will definitely read more from this author!

Saving Lucie Cole

Book Details
Author: Lynne Larson
Release Date: January 2014
Publisher: Covenant Communications
Genre: Historical Fiction

This book is wonderfully intriguing!
Captivating from the very beginning!
You will be quickly turning the pages to see what happens next!

I LOVE the introduction:

"There's a story that's come down through the decades about a young woman who endured a horrible crisis in the wilderness of Southern Utah. It happened back in the days when folks traveled by wagon... According to legend, Ruth May Fox, an extraordinary churchwoman and longtime general Young Ladies MIA counselor and president, figured in the events... But, as I say, it's an undocumented legend, this story you're about to read..."

The story that unfolds is both heart-wrenching and heart-warming!

Ruth May Fox and Lucie Cole are traveling companions from St. George to Salt Lake City.

They are enjoying each other's company and feel safe in the presence of the church appointed guardian and the skilled carriage master.

But lurking in the dark "the wrangler paused to squint querulously at the wagon yard known for its daily dust and traffic... and he'll stop at nothing to get to Lucie Cole."

Adventures begin!
Danger awaits!
Storms rage!
Hearts soften!

And "rescue missions may prove far more deadly than anyone could have dreamed."

SO! GOOD!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!
