Patience is a virtue best shared with everyone.
Have you ever known a police officer with a chip on their shoulder; or one whose shoulders are bigger than the car doors they sit in? I have. Some officers feel the law is their job and they perform it to the letter. This thriller takes a police chief with a belief that the security of her community is her one and only responsibility. But when 3 community members go missing and no leads after 3 weeks of investigation, something has to change. How hard is it to change the way you think, the way you act? How hard is it to change that authoritative “attitude”? How hard is it to change that hard surface to one that is gentler, to change one’s listening skills to one that hears not only the words but the underlying emotions and feeling behind those words. Ms. Hayes develops her characters to discover what truly changes a community into a family. Read and discover what many wish today’s society would become.
