ABOUT THE BOOK


If she escapes her past, can she survive the storm to come?

Maddie’s California dream-turned-nightmare is a perfect storm of abuse, trafficking, and unwanted pregnancy. She sees only one way out, until a network of strangers offers a solution that could save her life and her baby’s.

But escaping back to Minnesota hinges on Chris, the fiancé she rejected for the drug dealer who now owns her. After all she’s done, is it too much to hope Chris will perform this generous act of love?

And what if love isn’t enough to protect Maddie when a deadlier storm closes in?

Publisher: Trilogy Christian Publishing
Release Date: September 19, 2022


EXCERPT

“Chris, it’s about Maddie.”

His mouth tightened. A dose of equal parts fear and anger pumped up his heart rate. He sucked in a long breath, then let it go. “What about her?”

“She wants to come home.”

Fear evaporated. Anger alone clamped down on his chest. Home? What did that mean—now? He sat silent. Waiting.

“She has asked if we would go get her.”

Chris glanced down at his fist balled up against his thigh. “And you said...?”

“I said I would ask you.” His mom was equally good at silent waiting. She probably knew he was sitting there wanting to kick something, wanting to hijack the ambulance to California, wanting to punch somebody, wanting to give in to hope. If only he’d been able to forget Maddie, to stop measuring every other woman against her. If only she hadn’t slashed his heart and left him bleeding. But he hadn’t. And she had.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Karen Ingle admires women’s resilience and courage that emerge when faced with a pregnancy that rocks their world. As a freelance writer, she has interviewed such women, met them, and served them. She’s also rubbed elbows with the gutsy people who care deeply enough to support women in their journeys out of dark despair into bright hope. Now Karen is weaving those true stories into the compelling novel, With Me in the Storm, and others still to come in her Rumors of Light series.
