Book Cover & Preview Text
She sat staring out the window. Rachel Hargrove Parker knew something was wrong. She felt it in the pit of her stomach. Her husband Mitch, was two hours late. He was never this late... Something had happened to him... she just knew. "Dear God... Please let him be alright," she prayed.
The rain beat gently upon the window pane and glistened from the outside light. She always turned the light on for him each evening. This was to let him know she welcomed him home. She had done this since the beginning of their marriage five years ago. She wanted him to know how much she loved him and that she was waiting with open arms.
But tonight, somehow seemed different. She was so anxious to see him, but had a bad feeling... This was a feeling unlike any she had ever had before. She looked at the clock. The minutes were ticking by so slowly. She kept watching for his headlights to come up the driveway. Suddenly, she saw car lights and a surge of relief flooded her body.
The car came closer... and she could see a light on top. It was not Mitch, but a police car instead. She felt her heart drop! Panic set in...
