This might have been my favourite of the three novels in this series!
Hannah is in trouble and nobody can help her. At least that's how she feels. She finally decides to do something about it but the man who might love her may not be able to handle her secret.
Michael is in the Crimes Against Children Unit of the FBI. He's learning that the world is an even uglier place than he thought. Michael is handling a very difficult case and then he gets pulled from the investigation. His whole team is put on a new case. Dealing with his angry father, his injured girlfriend and her cranky big brother, and a case that keeps him awake at night is enough to drive him nuts. But Michael needs to be strong. Can he accomplish such a feat?
This book was heart wrenching. Mostly because this kind of thing happens all over the world every day. And it's wrong and it's tragic.
I have to say I love a happy ending! And I'm glad this series ended on a positive note. Sometimes the good guys win. Definitely recommend.

Healing Promises, Amy Wallace, Defenders of Hope Series
I, having helped my mom walk through a cancer diagnosis, can totally feel for the main character of this book. Clint works for the FBI. He's strong, he's manly, he's married to the love of his life and everything is going his way.
Now, he's weak, and his wife is trying to take care of him, but Clint feels that's his job. She's an oncologist and can't fix her own husband. She feels like a total and complete utter failure! And now, she is trying to burn the candle at both ends and she starts to feel a little sick herself.
Then there is work, another venue where he feels like a loser. And where is God is this whole mess? Chemo brain is affecting his memory and his work. Something plays around the edges of his consciousness and he knows it's important but he can't seem to grasp the memory.
The case is heading south and they are running out of time. Can he trust God to take care of him? Of his family? Of this case?
Suspenseful from start to finish, I recommend this novel.

Ransomed Dreams, by Amy Wallace (Defenders of Hope Series)
Please bear with me here. I don't know why but somehow I can't go back and fix stuff once I've typed past it without deleting all of which I have written. I can fix spelling, but not missed words or, if I want to (which I usually do) tweak it or add words/sentences. So.... sometimes my blogs may seem a bit...'off'.
The Defenders of Hope Series was awesome. I think I may have to expand my ten favourite authors to my favourite TWENTY because I am coming across some really great reads lately.
Ransomed Dreams finds Gracie, a teacher alone. Her family, gone. Her life is shattered by one moment in time. Tragic. She lives each day just going through the motions.
Steven is bitter. His ex has stomped all over his life. She abandoned him and their child and leaves him trying to hold it altogether. Thankfully his dad is there to help him out while he works at the FBI in the Crimes Against Children Unit.
Steven works for the FBI and Gracie is a teacher at a high profile school with excellent security. But oddly, not secure enough. Wonder of wonders, Steven's boy is in Gracie's class and when tragedy strikes, maybe, just maybe she can help pick up the pieces.
Amy Wallace is incredible! Her writing is really heartfelt and I had such compassion for Gracie and I felt the hatred Steven has for his ex-wife. I could (and likely will) read this novel more than once.
Yes, absolutely recommend!
