"'¦any story by Carlson is worth encountering." 'Booklist For fans of Terri Blackstock and Karen Kingsbury. BOOK DESCRIPTION: "We'll always be best friends." "That afternoon Mr. Jones read to them from Tom Sawyer, and when he reached the part about blood brothers, Judith knew just what she and Jasmine should do. Hidden behind an oak tree, the little girls jabbed their forefingers with a thumbtack and mixed their blood to become honest-to-goodness blood sisters. In their childish hearts they vowed to be best friends forever and ever." A mysterious envelope... A shocking obituary... A tumultuous trip to the past... Judith Blackwell returns to Cedar Crest trying to understand the sudden death of her dearest childhood friend, Jasmine Morrison. But her questions seem only to raise more questions. What is the dark secret of the sleepy little town she once called home? Why hadn't Jasmine been in contact with her? And where is God in all this? In her quest for the truth in matters of the heart and faith, Judith turns to a dedicated police detective. Together they form a plan that could either save Cedar Crest or send them tumbling down the same desperate road Jasmine found herself on. * * * REVIEWS: "Ms. Carlson's characters are realistic and facing issues that relevant in today's world."
