A Must Read!
I absolutely LOVED this book!! The story line kept me hooked to the point where I didn't want to set the book aside to do my housework (but I did).

Lorelai is an amazing character. She is someone would like to know in real life. The rollercoaster ride of "who done it" that she was on had me holding my breath and praying right along with the others in this book. I literally had no idea that the ending would be what it was. SHOCKER!

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a clean but thrilling crime mystery.

Loved the Suspense and surprises!! I really enjoyed this book! Lots of suspense, surprises, clear faith message, and romance! Old friends, new friends, and then there were the bad guys, but who could they be? I didn’t figure it out! This is the second in a series, but it can be read as a stand-alone. I can’t wait to read the next one!

– Deanna Mosier - Dry Bones Calling

A clean mystery with lots of twists and turns. Anyone who enjoys murder mysteries needs to check out this author. This is her third book that I have read. She never fails to deliver an amazing story, full of twists and turns that the reader could never see coming. I don't like scary, full of blood and gore stories and am glad to share these are suspenseful without that.

There are characters in this book that seem to have no relationship to one another and at first don't seem to have any connection to the plot of this story. But how Sherri Kukla ties it all in together at the end is just WOW! I hope she continues to write more books since I am anxious to read whatever she writes. Anyone who enjoys clean murder mysteries that share God's love in a non-preachy way needs to check out this author.

Dream Your Dream Second grade. That’s when the dream started.“Sherri wants

Second grade. That’s when the dream started.

“Sherri wants to be a magazine editor when she grows up,” the teacher wrote in the comments section of the report card.

Nineteen years after the teacher wrote those words we launched what would grow into S&S Off Road Magazine. For thirty-seven years my name has appeared in the staff box every single month. Indeed, the editor is the grown-up version of that second grader who knew what she wanted to do someday.

Don’t ever give up on your dreams. No...
