“Gracie Lang is a happily married woman and the mother of two. But then tragedy strikes and she loses her family because of a drunk driver. She's determined to find the man who killed her precious loved ones so that he will be made to pay for his senseless crime. Time goes by, but she does not give up even when others feel her quest for justice is a waste of time. She's angry at God for what happened but despite what she feels she does her best to keep trusting in Him... one day at a time. When it seems she's losing faith - in herself, in hopes of a future, in God - a friend or family member knows just the right thing to say to help Gracie hold onto her beliefs.
Steven Kessler is a federal agent; a Crimes Against Children investigator responsible for bringing kids back to their families. He's also a divorcee and a devoted father. He's been single for five years and he's not too interested in starting a new relationship. And the relationship he had with the heavenly Father, that weakened the day his ex-wife left him. Making the world a safer place for his son, James - that is what Steven cares about most. But Steven's friend, Clint, has been praying that Steven will fall in love again, praying for James to have a mother, and he believes Gracie Lang is the answer to his prayers. Will Steven give love a second chance? Will he renew his relationship with God?
Every now and then I read a book that makes me feel as if I'm watching a television movie. Ransomed Dreams is one of them, and I had a feeling it would be when I read the description. I really liked this book! Parts of it reminded me of the television show Flashpoint, which I really like watching, and near the end - I think it was around chapter 36 - I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. I love the author's way with words, and what I loved most was the way she made sure the truth was not left out when a character said something that contradicted the Word of God.
This is the first book I've read by Amy Wallace and I am really looking forward to reading the remaining books in the Defenders of Hope Series. I am so glad I discovered this author. ”
