Run and don’t look back.
I’ll find you when it’s safe.

Those were the last words Holly whispered to her six-year-old foster sister before the little girl fled into the trees and disappeared from existence.

Fifteen years later, Cassandra Ward is still missing.

Holly is haunted by the possibility that she sent her foster sister running from one monster and into the clutches of another. How else could a child vanish without a trace?

Determined to find her, Holly sifts through her own dark memories for clues, revisits her past, and chases a lead across the country with Jordan by her side. But the search for Cassie takes a dangerous turn when an altercation in the mountains leaves them stranded, cut off from the outside world, and running for their lives.

Lovers of books by Lynette Eason, Terri Blackstock, and Natalie Walters will enjoy this latest thrilling installment of The Holly Novels, and might even stay up all night reading.

Excerpt

Despite the warm May temperature, memories shivered through my bones—bones that had been bruised and broken under the roof of the two-story structure in front of me.

The cream-and-blue house sat vacant now, its once manicured lawn overgrown, flower boxes beneath the windows sprouting weeds, the screen door stained with black spray paint and scrub brush streaks. 

It was strangely silent.

But in the wind that billowed my jacket and teased the loose strands of my red hair, I could hear the echo of my foster siblings’ cries.

Holly, I’m scared.

Make it stop, Holly. It hurts. 

Their sweet little voices, filled with such fear, ripped at my heart as viciously now as they had then, and tears spilled onto my cheeks. 

“I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you,” I whispered, my words carried away by a gust of wind that rattled the For Sale sign hanging from the mailbox.


About the Author

C.C. Warrens

Jesus and laughter have brought C.C. Warrens through some very difficult times in life, and she weaves both into every story she writes, creating a world of breath-stealing intensity, laugh-out-loud humor, and a sparkle of hope. Writing has been a slowly blossoming dream inside her for most of her life until one day it spilled out onto the pages that would become her first published book.

If she’s not writing, she’s attempting to bake something—however catastrophic that might be—or she’s enjoying the beauty of the outdoors with her husband. One of the many things she’s learned since she started this journey is that the best way to write a book is to go on a long stroll with her husband. That is when the characters—from their backgrounds to the moments that make them laugh or bubble over with anger—come to life.
