by Amy Wallace

She’s been successful at burying painful memories for a long time – since very young childhood. But now those images are clawing their way through the wall behind which she locked them, and the source of Hanna Kessler’s mental agony continues to rob children of their innocence. At the same time, her law enforcement family and a few close friends are endangered by a group of racially motivated killers who are connected in some way to the dark shadow in Hanna’s past.

Michael Parker is an FBI hero with a passion for justice. Like Hanna, he has a lifetime of memories he prefers not to recall. Mix in an entire year of stress – broken relationships, difficult and unresolved cases, head butting with FBI leadership. Then a technicality forces the system to free a white supremacist, and Michael’s anger and desire for retribution sends him down a dangerous path.

Hanna and Michael have difficult choices to make. Healing or hurting. Hiding or fighting. Will their love for each other and their faith in God be enough? Can they go through the fire without being destroyed by the flames?

And when push comes to shove, will they choose justice … or revenge?

Amy Wallace delivers another powerful story in Enduring Justice, book three in the Defenders of Hope Series. The book contains more than one baldly uncomfortable subject, which the author handles with finesse – delicately enough to allow bearable reading, yet bravely peeling away all protecting layers of societal cushioning. The issue of faith is an integral part of the storyline, without become preachy or tacked on. Hero and heroine both deal with emotional scars – familiar ones that will be shared by many readers. Hopefully, they can learn to move beyond the hurt and accept the healing, along with Hanna and Michael.

A truly good book with a haunting storyline and insightful writing. Unforgettable!
