After thirty-nine-years of trying to muster the nerve to stand up for herself, she's pretty much accepted that going after what she wants isn't worth the trouble. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJoy dreams of redefining herself--as a mother, a wife, and a woman of courage. The only one who sees her potential is her neighbor and best friend Dorothea Westlake. With Dorothea in her corner, Joy can almost believe she is a lioness capable of impacting the world rather than a mouse no one respects. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen a nephew Dorothea hasn't seen in twenty years moves in under the guise of working on a college dissertation, Joy's suspicions go into full alert. Why is Gunnar here and what does he want from his trusting aunt? Three days after his arrival, Dorothea disappears. As days turn into weeks with no sign of her friend, Joy becomes convinced something is terribly wrong. With no one taking her concerns seriously, Joy must uncover the truth on her own if she hopes to save Dorothea...and herself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat Readers have to say... \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Slack outdid herself on this one!\"\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"A reluctant hero!\u003c\/b\u003e Joy does not fit the mold.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Five Stars!\u003c\/b\u003e Stand up for what you believe in, or else live with what you don't.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Hilarious, yet thought provoking! \u003c\/b\u003eI wanted to slap sense into everyone in Joy's life.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Not the usual heroine \u003c\/b\u003eof Christian suspense fiction.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Character and storyline developmen\u003c\/b\u003et was outstanding.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Another Great Read by Teresa Slack.\u003c\/b\u003e A gripping suspense novel with a great character arc.
